Use of Multispectral Imagery for Variable Rate “Application-zone” Identification in Cotton Production Tim Sharp Beltwide Cotton Conference January 6-10, 2003

1. Introduction  Researchers have been trying to identify the correct management zones based mainly on the variability of the crop yield.  Airborne multispectral imaging of cotton can provide important spatial information  Spatial variations in crop vigor can be observed in green, red and near infrared wavebands  Multispectral images can be used to monitor the spatial and temporal changes in the growth of crops

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of multispectral imagery As a tool to map cotton vigor zones Test the hypothesis that imagery from one year would map the zones in subsequent years (Zones are stable in time and space) Could these maps be a tool for variable rate application prescriptions in the following year

2. Material & Methods Positioning System –GPS NAVMAN / IPAQ Softwares –COTMAN –Farm Site Mate –ERDAS Image –SSToolbox –SAS Imagery Acquisition –Duncan’s camera (Green, Red, Near Infrared bands) –0.5 to 1.5 meter resolution images were utilized

Summary and Conclusions

Some researchers have reported in other areas of the country that zones change position. –May be due to wet soil conditions –May not have enough total variability in the field to fully express zone identity In our study the medium zones may or may not be significantly different from either the low or high zone from one year to the next

In West Tennessee Zones did not move from year to year. –With over 100 fields studied across three years –Final Plant Map data were collected from each of the five NDVI classed zones in each field –We never found that the low classed NDVI zone or the High Classed NDVI zone were incorrectly identified –Confirmation plots agreed completely with research site data

Implications NDVI classed maps obtained after 550 DD 60 NAWF 5 but prior to defoliation –Will accurately map the productivity zones for the following years –Will allow for the opportunity to plan Variable Rate Applications based on those classed maps in subsequent years –Correctly maps and predicts the cotton vigor to be expressed in those areas
