Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crop growth monitoring, and in particular to a method, device, medium and equipment for dynamically monitoring cotton phenotypes. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the cotton cultivation industry, full mechanization, simplification, and precision are becoming increasingly important in cotton field operations. The quantitative relationship between sensor data within cotton fields and plant growth and development, as well as pesticide application, is the foundation for precision operations. Previous studies have used vehicle-mounted sensors to obtain phenotypic data such as biomass, plant height, and SPAD values ​​in cotton fields, and combined these with the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) distribution to conduct regional-scale variable application of MC (Foote et al., 2016; Motomiya et al., 2014; Trevisan et al., 2018; Vellidis et al., 2009). However, using a single vegetation index (VI) such as NDVI to guide MC application has limitations. Spectral saturation occurs in late cotton fields (Pabuayon et al., 2019), and MC application is easily affected by environmental factors, making it difficult to accurately evaluate its effectiveness.

[0003] Mepiquat Chloride (MC) is widely used as a growth regulator in cotton cultivation (Feng et al., 2024). MC monitors cotton growth and development, controlling plant height and colony structure by adjusting cotton hormone levels (Wang et al., 2014), and coordinating vegetative and reproductive growth.

[0004] In recent years, the integration of drone technology and multispectral imaging systems has opened up new avenues for inferring crop phenotypic traits. This has expanded the spatial scope and temporal frequency of data collection and significantly improved the accuracy and precision of crop growth assessments by comprehensively analyzing multidimensional information (Maes and Steppe, 2019). Drone-mounted multispectral cameras can capture subtle differences in the light reflected from crop leaves across different wavelengths. Spectral signatures, including specific band values ​​within multispectral imagery and constructed spectral indices, are directly correlated with crop leaf area index (LAI), chlorophyll content, water status, nutrient levels, and early signs of pests and diseases (Chen et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2023a; Risal et al., 2024; B. Zhang et al., 2024; C. Zhang et al., 2024), providing key indicators for understanding crop vigor and stress responses. In addition to spectral characteristics, high-resolution imagery acquired by drones also allows for the extraction of rich texture features, which have been widely used to estimate crop physiological parameters such as AGB, LAI, and chlorophyll content (Liu et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2022; Yuan et al., 2023). These features reflect crop growth heterogeneity and potential responses to environmental stresses. Furthermore, point cloud data generated by drone photogrammetry provides information on the three-dimensional geometric structure of crop canopies. By analyzing structural and geometric features such as crop height, volume, canopy density, point cloud curvature, and planarity (Dhakal et al., 2023; Meacham-Hensold et al., 2019; Tsoulias et al., 2020), we can further refine our understanding of crop plant architecture, biomass, and population competition, which is of great value for optimizing planting patterns and precision pesticide application.

[0005] Although the above studies involve the inversion of many crop phenotypes, no targeted research has been conducted on MC-sensitive phenotypes in cotton cultivation, which has certain limitations in the decision-making of MC application, thereby affecting the accuracy of monitoring cotton phenotypes sensitive to chloramphenicol.
