| Abstract/Contents: | "The use of imagery collected from small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in turfgrass breeding has recently increased, as has the need to develop drought-resistant cultivars. However, prior to implementing UAVs for data collection under drought stress conditions, ground-truthing is necessary to ensure the accuracy of UAV-based traits. St. Augustinegrass is a warm-season turfgrass commonly grown in the southeastern United States known for its shade tolerance and aggressive stoloniferous growth but is lacking in drought resistance. Thus, this study sought to evaluate the potential of UAV-based traits by collecting ground measurements for percent green cover (PGC) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and comparing them to UAV-derived measurements under drought conditions. A population of 115 genotypes derived from the cross between 'Raleigh' x 'Seville' at two field sites in North Carolina served as the plant material. Correlation analysis showed strong agreement between ground and UAV-derived PGC and NDVI before and throughout the drought period, (r = 0.82 - 0.95), suggesting that UAVs could be used to help more efficiently phenotype drought traits in St. Augustinegrass. Additionally, no efforts have focused on identifying the most useful vegetation indices (VIs) to phenotype drought stress traits for St. Augustinegrass breeding. Using broad-sense heritability (H2) to evaluate a panel of fourteen vegetation indices (VIs) designed to measure PGC identified NDVI as the most suitable trait to phenotype under both drought and non-drought conditions as the high H2 provides a preliminary indication of potentially greater response to selection." |
