Estimation of soil coverage of chopped pruning residues in olive orchards by image analysis

Residue chopping from orchard pruning is becoming a common practice in conservation agriculture after the establishment of eco-conditionality policies in the European Union. This type of residue is used to protect the soil from erosion and improve the water balance and fertility of soils by improvin...
