Farmer Practice N Rich Strip • Yield Prediction, or YP0 (Farmer Practice) • Predict Response Index or RI (NDVI N Rich/NDVI Farmer Practice) • Measure CV in Farmer Practice • Estimate of Plant Population • Yield Achievable with N (YP0*RI) • Yield Achievable Adjusted based on CV and Population • N uptake Difference using a fixed %N (6 – 1) • N rate Determined by Dividing N uptake Difference/ Efficiency Factor
NDVI at F5 = INSEY Days from planting to sensing, GDD>0 Winter Wheat Units: biomass, kg/ha/day where GDD>0
