Dataset from "Integrating field camera imagery for monitoring maize phenology, biophysical traits, and agroclimatic factors in smallholder farms"

The dataset is associated with the published manuscript: Mahmud, A., Hoque, A., Tuure, J., Alakukku, L., Mäkelä, P. S. A., Wachiye, S., Mjomba, M., Pellikka, P. K. E., & Heiskanen, J. (2026). Integrating field camera imagery for monitoring maize phenology, biophysical traits, and agroclimatic factors in smallholder farms. Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 240, 111161. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compag.2025.111161 Data were collected from regenerative-agriculture maize experiments at three sites in Kenya (Kabete, Kishenyi, Maktau) across two growing seasons (2023-2024), spanning different agroecological zones. Six Bushnell Trophy Cam E3 field cameras (two per site, IDs A1-C2) captured near-daily images (around 3,000 images, captured at 10:00 local time). The dataset contains the following components: - README.md (detailed description of the dataset)- Field_camera_images: 2,694 daily RGB images from six cameras (Feb 2023 - Jul 2024).- GCC_extracted_SavitzkyGolay_smoothed.csv: daily Savitzky-Golay-smoothed GCC per plot.- Agroclimatic.csv: daily temperature, rainfall, and soil moisture per site.- Pheno_stages_BBCH.csv: ground-observed BBCH phenological stages.- biophysical_measurements.csv: biweekly plant height, chlorophyll, stomatal conductance, and LAI (median per plot).- Shapefile_experimental_sites.zip: GIS boundaries of the experimental sites.
