Monitoring of Cotton Boll Opening Rate Based on UAV Multispectral Data
Defoliation and accelerating ripening are important measures for cotton mechanization, and judging the time of defoliation and accelerating the ripening and harvest of cotton relies heavily on the boll opening rate, making it a crucial factor to consider.
