Remote sensing is an innovative, timely, non-destructive and spatially comprehensive approach to improve existing in-season crop production management practices. Remote sensing typically provides several narrow spectral bands (~ 3 to10 nm), which can capture fine absorption features of crop nutrients (e.g., leaf chlorophyll, water and nitrogen). So far many studies have indicated that remote sensing can be effectively applied to predicting crop parameters/variables, such as leaf area index, biomass, foliar N concentration, and leaf chlorophyll content.
