RESUMO
ABSTRACT Spectral remote sensing offers the potential to provide more information for making better-informed management decisions at the crop canopy level in real time. In contrast, the traditional methods for irrigation management are generally time-consuming, and numerous observations are required to characterize them. The aim of this study was to investigate the suitability of hyperspectral reflectance measurements of remote sensing technique for salinity and water stress condition. For this, the spectral indices of 5 maize cultivars were tested to assess canopy water content (CWC), canopy water mass (CWM), biomass fresh weight (BFW), biomass dry weight (BDW), cob yield (CY), and grain yield (GY) under full irrigation, full irrigation with salinity levels, and the interaction between full irrigation with salinity levels and water stress treatments. The results showed that the 3 water spectral indices (R970 − R900)/(R970 + R900), (R970 − R880)/(R970 + R880), and (R970 − R920)/(R970 + R920) showed close and highly significant associations with the mentioned measured parameters, and coefficients of determination reached up to R2 = 0.73*** in 2013. The model of spectral reflectance index (R970 − R900)/(R970 + R900) of the hyperspectral passive reflectance sensor presented good performance to predict the CY, GY, and CWC compared to CWM, BFW, and BDW under full irrigation with salinity levels and the interaction between full irrigation with salinity levels and water stress treatments. In conclusion, the use of spectral remote sensing may open an avenue in irrigation management for fast, high-throughput assessments of water status, biomass, and yield of maize cultivars under salinity and water stress conditions.
