1 Nitrogen Management Experiences in the Rainfed Corn Belt (Iowa)

2 Nitrogen Management Decisions Soil Tests Yield Goal Last Year’s Application Rate

3 Improving N Fertilization Field scale N responses Water-N interactions

4 Image process NDVI (B4 - B3) / (B4 + B3) Simple Ratio SAVI (Soil adjusted vegetation index) MSAVI (Modified Soil adjusted vegetation index) NPCI Normalized Pigment Chlorophyll ratio Index RS Index well correlated with Yield and or Chlorophyll content

5 Yield Correlation with RS data SAVI 3 rd flight SAVI 4 th flight

6 R3 SPAD means, Aug. 01, 2002

7 Exploratory Research Assessment of field-scale N responses Remote sensing of N variation in the field Field-scale decision processes incorporating soils, water, and N

8 Coon Rapids Smoothed Yields

9 Coon Rapids – September NDVI Field variation induced by previous management

10 Correlation Yields & Red/Green

11 Coon Rapids - Correlations Correlations prior to development of yield polygons
