Abstract:

Real-time and accurate monitoring of soil moisture content is the foundation of agricultural water management. Exploring the optimal model for soil moisture inversion in winter wheat is of great significance for improving agricultural water efficiency and sustainable development. This study took the soil moisture content in the winter wheat planting area of Jun County, Hebi City, Henan Province as the research object. Using unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing data, satellite remote sensing data and field sampling data, three methods of temperature vegetation drought index model, water cloud model and improved water cloud model were used to perform comparative analysis of soil water content inversion and optimal model selection. The results showed that the inversion accuracy at a depth of 10 cm was higher than that in 20 cm in all three methods, and R2 was greater than 0.4. The use of an improved water cloud model method resulted in R2 of 0.7055 and RMSE of 0.0209 at a depth of 10 cm, R2 of 0.5069 and RMSE of 0.0271 at a depth of 20 cm, which was superior to the inversion effect of water cloud model and temperature vegetation drought index. This indicated that using the improved water cloud model method for wheat field soil water inversion was appropriate and had high inversion accuracy.
