Nitrogen Status Estimation of Winter Wheat by Using an IKONOS Satellite Image in the North China Plain

چکیده
The objective of this study was to determine relationship between high resolution satellite image and wheat N status, and develop a methodology to predict wheat N status in the farmers’ fields. Field experiment with 5 different N rates was conducted in Huimin County in the North China Plain, and farmers’ fields in 3 separated sites were selected as validation plots. The IKONOS image covering all research sites was obtained at shooting stage in 2006. The results showed that single band reflectance of NIR, Red and Green and vegetation indices of NDVI, GNDVI, RVI and OSAVI all well correlated with wheat N status parameters. Field validation results indicated that the prediction models using OSAVI performed well in predicting N uptake in the farmers’ fields (R = 0.735). We conclude that high resolution satellite images like IKONOS are useful tools in N fertilization management in the North China Plain.

Characteristics of water consumption in water-saving winter wheat and effects on the utilization of subsequent summer rainfall in the North China Plain
Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grows in dry season but summer maize (Zea mays L.) coincides with rainfall in the North China Plain (NCP). Increasing rainfall use efficiency and harmonizing its utilization between the two species is an effective way to mitigate impact on groundwater deriving from wheat irrigation. One to four times water supply (W1, to W4) were employed in wheat, three wate...
متن کاملEstimating Winter Wheat Biomass and Nitrogen Status Using an Active Crop Sensor
Plant biomass and nitrogen status are important factors to consider when making in-season crop management decisions. Traditional sampling and analysis are time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. It is desirable to estimate these parameters nondestructively using remote sensing technology. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of using an active crop canopy sensor, GreenSe...
متن کاملImpact of spatial-temporal variations of climatic variables on summer maize yield in North China Plain
Summer maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the dominant crops in the North China Plain (NCP). Its growth is greatly influenced by the spatial-temporal variation of climatic variables, especially solar radiation, temperature and rainfall. The WOFOST (version 7.1) model was applied to evaluate the impact of climatic variability on summer maize yields using historical meteorological data from 1961 to 20...
متن کاملEffects of sowing time and rate on crop growth and radiation use efficiency of winter wheat in the North China Plain
Crop depends on its canopy to intercept solar radiation to drive both assimilation and water, nutrient absorption for its growth. Field experiments, involving three sowing time and three sowing rate, were conducted at Luancheng Station to investigate the effects of canopy size and development on crop growth and radiation use efficiency (RUE) of winter wheat during 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 gr...
