“…The permanent monitoring of vegetation cover is important to guarantee a sustainable management of agricultural activities, with a relevant role in the reduction of water erosion (CARDOSO et al, 2012;FAUSTOLO et al, 2017;GUIMARAES et al, 2017;SPERANDIO et al, 2012). This monitoring can be carried out by different indicators (CARDOSO et al, 2012;LIMA et al, 2014;MARRERO et al, 2009;PASSOS et al, 2015) such as vegetation cover indices, which represent the percentage of area covered by vegetation in relation to the total surface area of study (ZHONGMING et al, 2010).…”

Determination of vegetation cover index under different soil management systems of cover plants by using an unmanned aerial vehicle with an onboard digital photographic cameraDeterminação do índice de cobertura vegetal em sistemas de manejo do solo com plantas de cobertura, utilizando veículo aéreo não tripulado com câmera fotográfica digital embarcada AbstractThe permanent monitoring of vegetation cover is important to guarantee a sustainable management of agricultural activities, with a relevant role in the reduction of water erosion. This monitoring can be carried out through different indicators such as vegetation cover indices. In this study, the vegetation cover index was obtained using uncalibrated RGB images generated from a digital photographic camera on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In addition, a comparative study with 11 vegetation indices was carried out. The vegetation indices CIVE and EXG presented a better performance and the index WI presented the worst performance in the vegetation classification during the cycles of jack bean and millet, according to the overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient. Vegetation indices were effective tools in obtaining soil cover index when compared to the standard Stocking method, except for the index WI. Architecture and cycle of millet and jack bean influenced the behavior of the studied vegetation indices. Vegetation indices generated from RGB images obtained by UAV were more practical and efficient, allowing a more frequent monitoring and in a wider area during the crop cycle. ResumoO monitoramento permanente da cobertura vegetal é importante para garantir o manejo sustentável das atividades agrícolas, com relevante papel na redução da erosão hídrica. Este monitoramento pode ser realizado por meio de diferentes indicadores, como os índices de cobertura vegetal. Nesse artigo o índice de cobertura de vegetação foi obtido usando imagens RGB não-calibradas, geradas a partir de câmera fotográfica digital embarcada em um veículo aéreo não tripulado (VANT). Além disso, foi feito um estudo comparativo de 11 índices de vegetação. Os índices de vegetação CIVE e EXG apresentaram melhor desempenho e o índice WI apresentou o pior desempenho na classificação da vegetação durante o ciclo das culturas de feijão-de-porco e milheto, conforme a acurácia global e o coeficiente Kappa. Os índices de vegetação se apresentaram como uma ferramenta eficaz na obtenção dos índices de cobertura de solo, quando comparados ao método padrão de Stocking, exceto para o índice WI. A arquitetura e o ciclo das culturas milheto e o feijão-de-porco influenciaram no comportamento dos índices de vegetação estudados. Os índices de vegetação gerados à partir de imagens RGB obtidas por VANT mostraram ser mais práticos e eficientes, permitindo o monitoramento com maior frequência e abrangência de área durante o ciclo das culturas.

In the tropics, water erosion is one of the most important factors leading to the degradation and deterioration of agricultural land. Olive orchards have a low canopy coverage, especially during the first years after planting, due to the low density of olive trees. Given the fast expansion of olive orchards in Brazil, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of cover vegetation on soil and water losses under natural rainfall. In addition, it was assessed the crop performance and the vegetation cover index in different management systems in olive orchards. The study was carried out in soil erosion plots, where water and sediment were sampled and measured over two crops season, under the following treatments: in the first season, bare soil with olive cultivation (OBS); olive trees intercropped with spontaneous vegetation (OSV); olive trees intercropped with jack beans (OJB); olive trees intercropped with millet (OM) and, as a control, only bare soil (BS). In the second season, the OM treatment was replaced by olive trees intercropped with sunn hemp (OSH). On bare soils, soil loss was the highest reaching 303.9 Mg ha -1 yr -1 and where the surface runoff amounted to 484.8 mm yr -1 . However, in the absence of competition for resources with other crops, olive trees performed best under this system. The olive orchards planted in shallow and sloping soils without cover crops showed unsustainable soil loss, crusting, and sealing in the superficial soil layer, which can progress quickly for soil degradation in the future. The efficiency in the reduction of loss in relation to bare soil was 4.11 and 12.93 % for the soil loss and 12.15 and 25.17 % for water loss, respectively, for olive with spontaneous vegetation and olive with jack beans. Cover crops combined with olive trees, and reconciled with the crop performance aspects of cultivation in tropical regions, is of great relevance for improving sustainability, especially regarding the reduction of soil and water losses due to water erosion.
