Remote sensing of CC has been studied in several major crops, but not in most horticultural crops. We measured CC of 11 different annual and perennial horticultural crops in various growth stages on 30 fields on the west side of California's San Joaquin Valley with a handheld multispectral digital camera. Canopy cover was compared with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values calculated from Landsat 5 satellite imagery. The NDVI was highly correlated and linearly related with measured CC across the wide range of crops, canopy structures, and growth stages (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.95,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01) and predicted CC with mean absolute error of 0.047 up to effective full cover. These results indicate that remotely sensed NDVI may be an efficient way to monitor growth stage, and potentially irrigation water demand, of horticultural crops.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.21273\/hortsci.43.2.333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,31]],"date-time":"2019-01-31T22:03:22Z","timestamp":1548972202000},"page":"333-337","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":108,"title":["Remote Sensing of Canopy Cover in Horticultural Crops"],"prefix":"10.21273","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Thomas J.","family":"Trout","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lee F.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jim","family":"Gartung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"9090","reference":[{"key":"B01","article-title":"Crop evapotranspiration","author":"Allen,","year":"1998"},{"key":"B02","series-title":"Agron.
