Remote Sensor Studies
• Crops: sugarcane, rice, cotton and corn
• Application: improve midseason N fertilizer
recommendations
• Activities
– Update database
– Refinement algorithms
– Validation/calibration
Rice Updates
• Grain yield potential can be predicted at panicle
differentiation (1501-1900 cumulative GDD).
• Research in on-going
– To evaluate the impact of water reflectance
– To refine the algorithm
Rice Updates
• The water as a background may alter canopy reflectance
readings. This is most significant when plant biomass is
small and the stand is thin.
– Low N rate, NDVI could be from 0.44 to 0.58
– High N rate, NDVI could be from 0.62 to 0.66

Sugarcane: Research Focus 3
• Nitrogen fertilization is done early in spring
(one time application)
•
•
•
•
Tall stature – challenge when collecting data
How early we can put our N reference strip?
How late can we apply N fertilizer?
Small biomass is an issue early in the spring. Three weeks after growth
recommenced in spring, height may become an issue.
Rice and Sugarcane: Research Focus 4
• Evaluate spectral reflectance based on leaf element
and plant canopy structure using red-edge.
Red-edge
 Wavelength between RED and NIR wavelengths
 670 nm to 780 nm (Meer and Jong, 2006)
 700 and 750 nm (Seager, 2005)
 The first or second derivative of reflectance between 690
to 740 nm, depending on the sensor (Dixit, 1985)
Index
• Reflectance
Reflectance between 680-740 nm. Index could be
described as ratio of reflectance.
• Derivative analysis (Red-edge position)
The wavelength of maximum slope in the red edge
reflectance . The wavelength which has a maximum point
of the first derivative reflectance. Index could be described
as the specific wavelength . (Cho and Skidmore)
For example
- Chlorophyll content can be explained by red-edge index
Red Edge Position
The maximum point of the first derivative
reflectance
Red-Edge (Reflectance Ratio)
(R734-747nm)/(R715-726nm)
(Moss, 1991)
Derivative Analysis
Not only points but area and shape
High N rate
• Maximum point
– Longer wavelength (approx. 750 nm)
– Peak of the reflectance pattern
• Large total area
Low N rate
• Maximum point
-Shorter wavelength
-Between 720 to 740 nm
• Small total area
(Filella, 1994)
Red-Edge Points
• Highly correlated with
- chlorophyll content (Meer, 2007)
- plant biomass (Mutanga, 2004)
• Less affected by soil background (Jong, 2007)
• Very narrow bands needed to be observed
• Complicated method to determine REP
-The simple maximum derivatie
-Linear interpolation (Guyot and Baret, 1988)
-Inverted Gaussianmodelling (Miller et al., 1990)
-High orderpolynomial fitting (Pu et al., 2003)
-Linear extrapolation techniques (Cho and Skidmore )
-Lagrangian interpolation technique (Dawson and Curran, 1998)
Potential to be a new index for determine N rate?
• Yes, especially biomass completely covers ground

Degree of Plant Biomass
• However, need to be discussed
- Red-edge, What are you looking for? Red-edge
reflectance, point, shape, or area?
- Looking at very narrow bands, work in practical fields?
Thank you
