New low-cost portable sensing system integrated with on-the-go fertilizer application system for plantation crops

The development of aerial, low-altitude, and ground-based remote sensing technologies is progressing rapidly, but applications related to fertilization, such as on-the-go sensing systems, remain limited to cereal crops and require substantial investments. The canopy cover of plantations, leading to extensive shade, coupled with varying age at planting, has created the urgency for fast and effective plant health examination and nutrition...
