INITIATION OF YIELD POTENTIAL TRIALS & ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT Precision Sensing Extension Workshop
INTRODUCTION Yield Potential trials necessary for the development of algorithms specific for Zimbabwe Crop Specific Implement trials All N applied preplant No mid-season N application Collect sensor NDVI readings Correlate Yield with Sensor readings

CONCLUSIONS Conduct YP trials to develop YP algorithms for crops in Zimbabwe Implement trials in such a manner that yields can be correlated with sensor NDVI readings. IN a NUT SHELL….. Collect NDVI readings from plots (on-farm, etc.) Different planting dates, different sensing dates BUT….. Make sure they don’t receive any added N LAST…. Collect yield data and then correlate INSEY with measured YIELD
