Possibilities of Using a Multispectral Camera to Assess the Effects of Biostimulant Application in Soybean Cultivation

Original language description

Soybean cultivation plays a crucial role in the global food system, providing raw materials for both the food and feed industries. To enhance cultivation efficiency, plant biostimulants are used to improve metabolism and stimulate growth. A key aspect of modern cultivation is the ability to rapidly and non-invasively assess crop status. One such method involves the use of drones equipped with multispectral cameras. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on soybean cultivation involving a natural biostimulant in the form of Epilobium angustifolium extract (commonly known as fireweed) and a commercial seaweed-based biostimulant, Kelpak. The research was conducted at an experimental farm in eastern Poland. The effectiveness of the preparations was evaluated using a drone-mounted multispectral camera. Changes in the values of selected spectral indices were analyzed: the Normalized Difference Red Edge Index (NDRE), the Leaf Chlorophyll Index (LCI), and the Optimized Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (OSAVI). The study included a control group treated with pure water. Mathematical and statistical analyses of the mean values and standard deviations of the indices were conducted. The results demonstrated that multispectral scanning allows for the detection of significant differences between the effects of the E. angustifolium extract, the seaweed-based biostimulant, and the water control. These findings confirm the utility of this method for assessing the effectiveness of biostimulant applications in soybean cultivation.
