Nitrogen management experiences in Argentina RICARDO MELCHIORI (INTA) AGUSTIN BIANCHINI (AAPRESID) Remote Sensing Workshop. Monmouth, IL. August, 2007
Topics Maize experiences: timing, and Fixed vs. SBNRC comparisons By plant hierarchies response to N. Spatial resolution for Green Seeker RT 200 in maize Wheat experiences: cultivar effects on NDVI models
Sources of variation that affect N response • soil moisture • rainfall regimes • temperature • soil type, previous crop • hybrids
Inter-annual maize yield response to N 200 kg N 8828 kg/ha 154 kg N 8375 kg/ha 2001 2002 231 kg N 13441 kg/ha 99 kg N 9535 kg/ha 2004 2003
Long term N response variability in continuous maizeINTA Parana, (1995 - 2006) • Average yield: 10000 kg/ha • Average optimal N rate = 155 kg N/ha

Sensor base Wheat yield model Parana (2005 - 2006)
On going research and future needs • Sept. vs. Dec. planting dates; Wheat/Corn; • Row width (20” vs. 28”). • RT 200 studies in wheat & corn. • By zones N rich strips for using handheld GS. • Bands for other stresses (eg. Water), protein content in wheat. • Other crops: canola, tobacco, sugarcane.
