In-Field Forage Biomass and Quality Prediction Using Image and VIS-NIR Proximal Sensing with Machine Learning and Covariance-Based Strategies for Livestock Management in Silvopastoral Systems

Controlling forage quality and grazing are crucial for sustainable livestock production, health, productivity, and animal performance. However, the limited availability of reliable handheld sensors for timely pasture quality prediction hinders farmers’ ability to make informed decisions. This stud...
