Abstract: Abstract Plant-based measurements such as leaf water potential (LWP) are widely used for irrigation scheduling because they are accurate at indicating when irrigation is needed. Despite being a good indicator, scheduling irrigation with LWP is time consuming and scale-limited. The work reported in this study explored the potential of using thermal remote sensing to estimate cotton crop water status in the humid southeastern U.S.A. The study was conducted over two growing seasons (2018 and 2020) in southwestern Georgia, U.S.A using a complete ra...
