[Analysis of Polarization Characteristics of Wheat and Maize Crops Using Land-Based Remote Sensing Measurements].

The paper presents analysis of a study of the polarized component of the reflectance factor (Rq) and the degree of polarization (P) of wheat and maize crops depending on the wavelength. Registration of polarization characteristics was carried out in the field from the elevated work platform at heights of 10 to 18 m in June and July. Measurements were performed using a double-beam spectrophotometer with a polarized light filter attachment, within the spectral range from 400 to 820-nm.

[Evaluation of seasonal dynamics of crop yield in agrocenoses on the basis of satellite data and mathematical model].

An integrated approach based on satellite remote sensing data and the results of mathematical model analysis was tested for applicability in evaluating the crop yield and total of phytomass of agrocenosis and identifying its type. The dynamics of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the total aboveground phytomass of agrocenosis proved to be qualitatively similar. An analysis performed using the mathematical model and taking into account air temperature showed the possibility of making and refining prognosis of crop yield.

[Remote assay for chlorophyll photosynthetic potential of crops on the example of wheat].

An optical remote assay for biological production of crops in the field during the vegetation period is proposed. Our calculations demonstrate a good correlation between the S(t) value and crop yield (in the range from 0.85 to 0.
