Abstract:

The application of vegetation indices for the quantitative evaluation of basic pasture parameters (grass-cover, productivity, unpalatable grass, pasture degradation) is discussed for low and moderate resolution optical sensors. Each vegetation index was correlated with ground-truth data. The algorithm of pasture condition estimation was developed using highly correlated indices.

Keywords:

vegetation index, grass-cover, productivity, pasture condition
