This study analyses the physiological response and visual quality of several grass varieties grown on four experimental lots, using multispectral imaging for monitoring. The control lot did not receive irrigation, while the other three experimental lots were subjected to distinct irrigation regimes: rotors (lot 1), sprays (lot 2), and underground drip irrigation (lot 3). Multispectral data allowed the assessment of vegetative parameters, to analyse the differences in vegetative state and water stress levels between the lots and grass varieties. The results showed significant variations between the experimental lots, depending on both the type of irrigation and the grass variety, highlighting the efficiency of different irrigation systems in both water conservation and maintaining an optimal vegetative state. The study offers valuable insights for optimizing irrigation practices and selecting grass varieties suited to both specific site conditions and the implementation of sustainable maintenance strategies.
