USGA Summary Points:At the end of the study (31 Aug), no differences in turf quality were visible between the 100 and 65% ET treatments (Fig. 5B and 5C). However, soil moisture was less at 65% than 100% ET (Fig. 5A). The only measurements that detected differences in vegetative properties between 100 and 65% ET treatments on 31 Aug. were the NIR band and GreenBlue vegetation index (Fig. 3, 4, 5E, and 5F). This indicates using ultra-high resolution remote sensing with small UAS has potential to detect drought stress before it is visible to the human eye. Preliminary measurements of a functioning golf course revealed interesting differences in the turfgrass between summer and fall (Fig. 6).
