USGA Summary Points: | Seven days after initiation of ET treatments (7 July), no differences in turf quality or percentage green cover were evident among ET treatments (Fig. 3B and 3C). However, soil moisture was less at 15 and 30% than 100% ET (Fig. 3A). On the same day (7 July), the NIR band and the GreenBlue, Enhanced 1, and Enhanced 2 vegetation indices detected differences in vegetative properties between 100 and 15/30% ET treatments (Fig. 3E to 3H) (same trend as soil moisture, Fig. 3A). Trends observed on 7 July in these vegetation indices and the NIR band were predictive of visual quality and percentage green cover 8 days later, on 15 July (Figs. 3 and 4). Ultra-high resolution remote sensing with small UAS detected drought stress at least 8 days before it was visible to the human eye. |
