This publication lists the components of a comprehensive nutrient management strategy and provides nutrition guidelines for mature and new hazelnut orchards.
Ground-based assessments of foliar diseases including leaf blight are time-consuming and costly. We investigated the potential for using an unmanned aerial system (UAS) in conjunction with a multispectral sensor to determine whether we could more efficiently and reliably detect and quantify leaf blight in Pacific madrones. Our methods included ground-based...
