Research on Monitoring Methods for the Appropriate Rice Harvest Period Based on Multispectral Remote Sensing by Chen Cong, Cao Guangqiao, Li Yibai, Liu Dong, Ma Bin, Zhang Jinlong, Li Liang, Hu Jianping

“…The accuracy of the inversion model with different input variables and model methods was evaluated, and the optimal inversion model for rice moisture content and thousand-grain weight was selected, which could be used to determine whether the crop was harvested during the appropriate period. The continuous monitoring of two rice varieties (South Japonica 46 and South Japonica 5055) indicated that the moisture content of South Japonica 46 decreased linearly during the 20-day trial period, while its thousand-grain weight showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. …”
