Indirect Estimates of Soil Electrical Conductivity for Improved Prediction of Wheat Grain Yield
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system of midseason prediction of winter wheat grain yield based on sensed plant growth properties has been established. However, little research has been conducted to determine the relationship of grain yield, sensed plant data, and soil electrical conductivity (EC). This study was carried out to determine if soil EC could be useful in better predicting wheat grain yield. During 2001 and 2002, measurements of soil EC, normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI), and grain yield were taken on five long-term soil fertility experiments across Oklahoma. Results indicated that soil EC was not better than mid-season NDVI readings at predicting grain yield at *Correspondence: W. R.

Wheat yield prediction modeling by soil properties: a case study in North-west of Iran
Crop yields are dependent on a number of factors such as soil type, weather conditions and farming practices. Crop yield estimates in different soil types are required to meet the needs of farmers, land appraisers, and governmental agencies in Iran as around the world. This study was conducted to model the wheat-grain yields [Triticum aestivum L.] by soil properties in Khoy area, the north-w...
متن کاملSpatial prediction of soil electrical conductivity using soil axillary data, soft data derived from general linear model and error measurement
Indirect measurement of soil electrical conductivity (EC) has become a major data source in spatial/temporal monitoring of soil salinity. However, in many cases, the weak correlation between direct and indirect measurement of EC has reduced the accuracy and performance of the predicted maps. The objective of this research was to estimate soil EC based on a general linear model via using se...

Limited information is available on the effect of residues rates and slope direction on dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. This study was carried out to determine the effects of residues rates and tillage direction on grain yield and yield components of the Sardary wheat in a dryland region in Zanjan. Five wheat residues rates (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% surface cover) were applied and i...
