Crop and Irrigation Water Management Using High Resolution Airborne Remote Sensing

This paper offers a historical retrospective on the remote sensing of crop coefficients for obtaining actual crop evapotranspiration. We present recently developed crop coefficients for bean and potato and show the usefulness of high-resolution airborne imagery for monitoring temporal changes and characterizing in-field variability of crop growth.
