Abstract
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the water status of maize cultivars through thermal and vegetation indexes generated from multispectral aerial images obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and correlate them with physiological indicators and soil water contents. The application of three water regimes based on the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) (30%, 90%, and 150% ETo) was evaluated for two maize cultivars (AG-1051 and BRS-Caatingueiro). An UAV was used to acquire thermal and multispectral images. The indexes evaluated were CWSI, CI-G, CI-RE, CIV, NDVI and OSAVI, which were correlated with gas exchange and soil moisture measures. The CWSI present correlation with physiological indicators (stomatal conductance, transpiration, and net CO2 assimilation rate) that can be used to evaluate water status of maize plants. The multispectral vegetation indexes NDVI and OSAVI can replace the CWSI thermal index in water status evaluations for maize plants.
