1. Developing Nitrogen Algorithms for Corn Production Using Optical Sensors

Remote sensing for nitrogen management in cereal crops has been an intensive research area due to environmental concerns and economic realities of today’s agronomic system. In the search for improved nitrogen rate decisions, what approach is most often taken and are those approaches justified through scientific investigation? The objective of this presentation is to educate decision makers on how these algorithms are developed and evaluate how well they work in the field on a small-plot... R.W. Mullen, S.B. Phillips, W.R.
