16. In-season Variable Rate
• Mount Sensors on side-dress applicator
• N-rich strip in each field
• Applicator will sense the N-rich strip
• Compare each readings with N-rich strip
• Use the difference to determine N to apply
17. Implications for Crop Management
• Real-time Plant Nitrogen Requirements
• Maximize Yield
• Reduce Total N Application
• Save Second Application in Droughts
• Early Yield Prediction
• Precision Desiccant Application
Slide 4 shows relationship between NDRE values from Crop Circle sensor and yield at Jones field. Comparing NDVI Red Edge Readings with YieldReadings taken at silk stage. (Percentage of highest reading in field)High correlation
