Lidar based, tree row volume estimation for phytosanitary products reduction in fruit trees orchards. [Conference paper].

ABSTRACT - Many fruit orchards in Uruguay are small-scale producers, where a single sprayer is configured once a year and used for all the applications of the phytosanitary products. To conduct a successful application for ideal results, the broth concentration (the phytosanitary product is diluted in water) should be determined depending on the volume of vegetation of the fruit trees. In small orchards, this calibration is only done once per year, and is determined for the most voluminous trees in the orchard.
