Abstract:

Accurate and quick determination of soil moisture of winter wheat plot could provide references for efficient water utilization and precision irrigation. In this study, the multispectral remote sensing data of winter wheat at turning green period were obtained by unmanned aerial vehicle in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province. The soil moisture at two depths (10 cm and 20 cm) was measured simultaneously. Spectral reflectance was extracted from remote sensing images, and normalized difference vegetation index, enhanced vegetation index, perpendicular drought index were calculated. After collinearity analysis, stepwise regression, ridge regression and partial least squares regression methods were used to construct soil moisture content inversion models at different soil depths, then the optimal inversion model was adopted to draw soil moisture inversion maps. The results showed that the determination coefficient of models constructed by the stepwise regression method for 10, 20 cm soil depths were 0.885 and 0.782, respectively, of which the inversion precision was the highest. The inversion performance for 10 cm soil depth of all the constructed models were better than that of the 20 cm soil depth. The present study could provide references for the selection of soil moisture monitoring of winter wheat at turning green period.
