  3. Can Yield Potential (similar to “yield goals”) be Predicted MID-SEASON?Is it better than a preplant N decision?

  4. NDVI at F5 = INSEY Days from planting to sensing, GDD>0 Winter Wheat Units: biomass, kg/ha/day, where GDD>0

  5. Predicting Yield Potential in Corn NDVI, V8 to V10 = INSEY Days from planting to sensing CORN

  6. Long-Term Winter Wheat Grain Yields, Lahoma, OK

  7. Response to Fertilizer N, Long-Term Winter Wheat Experiment, Lahoma, OK “After the FACT” N Rate required for “MAX Yields” Ranged from 0 to 140 lbs N/ac

  8. Can RI be Predicted in Wheat?.... YES

  9. Can RI Be Predicted in Corn?... YES MullenAgronomy Journal 95:347-351 (2003)Winter Wheat

  10. Improved Prediction of Yield PotentialSuperPete to the Rescue

  11. RI-NFOAYPN=YP0 * RI YP0 YPN YPN YPMAX RI=1.5 RI=2.0 Grain yield INSEY (NDVI/days from planting to sensing) Nf = (YP0*RI) – YP0))/Ef • The mechanics of how N rates are computed are really very simple • Yield potential is predicted without N • The yield achievable with added N is #1 times the RI • Grain N uptake for #2 minus #1 = Predicted Additional N Need • Fertilizer Rate = #3/ efficiency factor (usually 0.5 to 0.7)

  12. INSEY works, but needs to be more robust • Problems: • Extremely early season prediction of yield can be overestimated • (Feekes 4, wheat) • (V6, corn) • Inability to reliably predict yield potential at early stages of growth should be accompanied by more risk averse prediction models (small slope)

  13. Combined • RI = (NDVI-N Rich Strip/NDVI-Farmer Practice) • CoefA = (0.323123*Gdd2 - 77.8* Gdd + 5406) • CoefB = -0.0003469*Gdd2 + 0.08159*Gdd - 2.73372 • YP0 = (CoefA * exp(CoefB * NDVI-FP)) • If ((NDVI-N Rich Strip/NDVI-FP)< 1.72) • RI = (NDVI-N Rich Strip/NDVI-FP)*1.69 - 0.7 • If (RI<1) RI=1 • YPN = YP0*RI; • NRate = ((YPN-YP0)*0.0239/0.6)

  14. Variable Rate TechnologyTreat Temporal and Spatial Variability Returns are higher but require larger investment

  15. Just remember boys, you can always trust SuperPete!
