The seven color image above shows a classified aerial
image of a peanut field in South Alabama. It shows seven relative
differences in vegetation in the field. The grower knew he had a
pH problem in this field, but the image made it painfully clear
how big the problem was. The picture on the left top shows peanut
plants in Class 7 (dark green areas) where the estimated pH was
6.2. The picture below shows peanut plants in Class 1 (brown
areas) where the estimated pH was 4.2. Zink toxicity due to low pH
is the most likely reason why the peanut plants died. |
