Field Preparation Timeline
Field Preparation
Site selection, soil analysis, and plot layout planning at Çukurova University Agricultural Research Station.
Block Design
Two blocks (early vs late sowing) to capture seasonal/temperature effects. Treatments: N 0/10/20 g/m² and irrigation 0/50/100%.
Sowing
Standard vs late planting to simulate colder conditions and increase climatic variance.
Treatment Application
Nitrogen fertilizer applications at 0, 10, 20 g/m² (20 being ideal) across designated plots.
Drone Data Acquisition
5 drone flights capturing 10 multispectral bands, producing 2,700 images (54 plots × 10 bands × 5 flights).
Data Processing
2,700 images converted to 270 NDVI images (54 plots × 5 flights). NDVI datasets serve as foundation for AI modeling.
