Precision Irrigation (PI) is a promising technique for monitoring and controlling water use that allows for meeting crop water requirements based on site-specific data. However, implementing the PI needs precise data on water evapotranspiration. The detection and monitoring of crop water stress can be achieved by several methods, one of the most interesting being the use of infra-red (IR) thermometry combined with the estimate of the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI). However, conventional IR equipment is expensive, so the objective of this paper is to present the development of a new low-cost water stress detection system using TL indices obtained by crossing the responses of infrared sensors with image processing. The results demonstrated that it is possible to use low-cost IR sensors with a directional Field of Vision (FoV) to measure plant temperature, generate thermal maps, and identify water stress conditions. The Leaf Temperature Maps, generated by the IR sensor readings of the plant segmentation in the RGB image, were validated by thermal images. Furthermore, the estimated CWSI is consistent with the literature results.

Over the years, agricultural management practices are being improved as they integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Precision Agriculture tools. Regarding sugarcane crop production, this integration aims to reduce production cost, enhance input applications, and allow communication among different hardware and datasets, improving system sustainability. Sugarcane mechanization has some particularities that mandate the development of custom solutions based on digital tools, which are being applied globally in different crops. Digital mechanization can be conceived as the application of digital tools on mechanical operation. This review paper addresses different digital solutions that have contributed towards the mechanization of sugarcane crop production. The process of digitalization and transformation in agriculture and its related operations to sugarcane are presented, highlighting important ICT applications such as real-time mechanical operations monitoring and integration among operations, demonstrating their contributions and limitations regarding management efficiency. In addition, this article presents the major challenges to overcome and possible guidance on research to address these issues, i.e., poor communication technologies available, need for more focus on field and crop data, and lack of data interoperability among mechanized systems.
