  1. Using Landsat TM Imagery to Predict Wheat Yield and to Define Management Zones

  2. Landsat TM Imagery • How can we use Landsat TM imagery to predict wheat yield? • How accurately can imagery collected in near flowering (April 1 to May 15) predict wheat yields? • Can satellite wheat yield estimates be used to prescribe management zones?

  3. Winter Wheat, Pond Creek in North Central Oklahoma April 23, 1998 Variability???

  4. April 23,1998 TM Scene over North Central Oklahoma

  5. ImageProcessing and NDVI Computation Clear-sky Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes of north-central Oklahoma, spanning the period 1991 to 1999, were obtained from Space Imaging with radiometric and geometric corrections. The TM scenes were chosen so that the satellite overpasses occurred at or near the heading stage of winter wheat in the area (mid April to early May).

  6. April 4, 1991 May 9, 1992 April 25, 1993 March 27, 1994 April 2, 1996 April 20, 1997 April 23, 1998 May 12, 1999 Dates and TM scenes used in the study:

  14. Normalizing Satellite Estimated Yield • Normalization tends to remove the effect of weather, disease and other factors on the average yield. • This minimizes the effect of abnormally high or yields when yield variability is compared between years or averaged over years. • Yields can be normalized by dividing by the average yield for the field.

  33. What may be gained by even higher resolution sensing? 25 m Resolution (Re-sampled) Landsat TM 1m Resolution NDVI

  34. Conclusions • Satellite imagery can be used to predict yields. • Normalized estimated yield can be used for management decisions: • Define average relative yield • Identify regions of high and low yield whose cause changes slowly over time • Drainage • Soil type • Organic matter • pH

  35. Conclusions • Images can be used to define management zones for the purpose of managing these variables. • Imagery can complement yield monitor data or when yield data are not available can serve as a surrogate. • Currently, Landsat TM images are the only source of historical data for the entire United States, and, despite the coarse resolution provides, a means to begin managing less than field size areas.

  36. Conclusions • Potentially, with sufficient data, harvester yield measurements can be used to obtain the same management data as satellites.
