The potential of UAV-borne spectral and textural information for predicting aboveground biomass and N fixation in legume-grass mixtures.

Organic farmers, who rely on legumes as an external nitrogen (N) source, need a fast and easy on-the-go measurement technique to determine harvestable biomass and the amount of fixed N (NFix) for numerous farm management decisions. Especially clover- and lucerne-grass mixtures play an important role...
