The cultivation of cotton, as the primary source of non-food natural fiber, plays a crucial role in numerous regional economies globally. However, it faces significant challenges due to climate change and its variations, which exacerbate issues in its sustainability and productivity. The sensitivity of cotton to these climatic variations highlights the urgent need for effective water resource management to ensure its long-term viability. This research focused on evaluating the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) using thermal images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the hybrid cotton crop 'Molinero extralargo,' comparing these results with soil moisture and stomatal conductance (gs) measurements to improve water management. The research was conducted at the Irrigation Research Unit of the National Agrarian University La Molina between November 2022 and June 2023. During this period, 48 sampling units of 0.80 x 1.5 m were established with irrigation activated in response to physical signs of water stress. Crop temperature for the CWSI calculation was monitored through eight UAV flights equipped with an H20T thermal camera. The temperature data were corrected and calibrated with measurements from a handheld radiometer on pre-established surfaces. Additionally, meteorological data, stomatal conductance (gs), and soil moisture (θ) were recorded during the monitoring. Pot trials were also conducted to determine water stress thresholds. The results showed that these thresholds provided a solid basis for calculating the CWSI, and a significant relationship was found between CWSI, stomatal conductance, and soil moisture, suggesting that the CWSI is a reliable indicator of crop condition and can be used to activate irrigation more efficiently.
