Assessing the spectral separability of flue cured tobacco varieties established on different planting dates and under varying fertilizer management levels
(Hindawi, 2014-01-24)The NDVI was used to discriminate tobacco variety, assess fertilizer levels, and determine the impact of planting date on separating crops. A split plot design with four planting dates, September, October, November, and ... -
Remote sensing applications in tobacco yield estimation and the recommended research in Zimbabwe
(Hindawi, 2013-10)Tobacco crop area and yield forecasts are important in stabilizing tobacco prices at the auction floors. Tobacco yield estimation in Zimbabwe is currently based on statistical surveys and ground-based field reports.These ... -
Selection of optimum vegetative indices for the assessment of tobacco float seedlings response to fertilizer management
(Hindawi, 2012-05-21)The experiment sought to establish the vegetative indices for assessing tobacco float seedling varieties’ response to different fertilizer rates. A factorial design, with 3 variety × 4 fertilizer management treatments, ... -
Spectral indices: In-season dry mass and yield relationship of flue-cured tobacco under different planting dates and fertiliser levels
(Hindawi, 2013-08-13)This experiment investigated the relationship between tobacco canopy spectral characteristics and tobacco biomass. A completely randomized design, with plantings on the 15th of September, October, November, and December, ...
