Enhancing nitrogen fertilization efficiency for improving yield is a major challenge for smallholder farming systems. Rapid and cost-effective methodologies with the capability to assess the effects of fertilization are required to facilitate smallholder farm management. This study compares maize leaf and canopy-based approaches for assessing N fertilization performance under different tillage, residue coverage and top-dressing conditions in Zimbabwe. Among the measurements made on individual le ...[more]

Project description:The pressure for food production has expanded agriculture frontiers worldwide, posing a threat to water resources. For instance, placing crop systems over hydromorphic soils (HS), have a direct impact on groundwater and influence the recharge of riverine ecosystems. Environmental regulations improved over the past decades, but it is difficult to detect and protect these soils. To overcome this issue, we applied a temporal remote sensing strategy to generate a synthetic soil image (SYSI) associated with random forest (RF) to map HS in an 735,953.8 km2 area in Brazil. HS presented different spectral patterns from other soils, allowing the detection by satellite sensors. Slope and SYSI contributed the most for the prediction model using RF with cross validation (accuracy of 0.92). The assessments showed that 14.5% of the study area represented HS, mostly located inside agricultural areas. Soybean and pasture areas had up to 14.9% while sugar cane had just 3%. Here we present an advanced remote sensing technique that may improve the identification of HS under agriculture and assist public policies for their conservation.

Project description:The dual-source Shuttleworth-Wallace model has been widely used to estimate and partition crop evapotranspiration (?ET). Canopy stomatal conductance (Gsc), an essential parameter of the model, is often calculated by scaling up leaf stomatal conductance, considering the canopy as one single leaf in a so-called "big-leaf" model. However, Gsc can be overestimated or underestimated depending on leaf area index level in the big-leaf model, due to a non-linear stomatal response to light. A dual-leaf model, scaling up Gsc from leaf to canopy, was developed in this study. The non-linear stomata-light relationship was incorporated by dividing the canopy into sunlit and shaded fractions and calculating each fraction separately according to absorbed irradiances. The model includes: (1) the absorbed irradiance, determined by separately integrating the sunlit and shaded leaves with consideration of both beam and diffuse radiation; (2) leaf area for the sunlit and shaded fractions; and (3) a leaf conductance model that accounts for the response of stomata to PAR, vapor pressure deficit and available soil water. In contrast to the significant errors of Gsc in the big-leaf model, the predicted Gsc using the dual-leaf model had a high degree of data-model agreement; the slope of the linear regression between daytime predictions and measurements was 1.01 (R2?=?0.98), with RMSE of 0.6120 mm s-1 for four clear-sky days in different growth stages. The estimates of half-hourly ?ET using the dual-source dual-leaf model (DSDL) agreed well with measurements and the error was within 5% during two growing seasons of maize with differing hydrometeorological and management strategies. Moreover, the estimates of soil evaporation using the DSDL model closely matched actual measurements. Our results indicate that the DSDL model can produce more accurate estimation of Gsc and ?ET, compared to the big-leaf model, and thus is an effective alternative approach for estimating and partitioning ?ET.

Project description:Machine learning (ML) techniques offer a promising avenue for improving the integration of remote sensing data into mathematical crop models, thereby enhancing crop growth prediction accuracy. A critical variable for this integration is the leaf area index (LAI), which can be accurately assessed using proximal or remote sensing data based on plant canopies. This study aimed to (1) develop a machine learning-based method for estimating the LAI in rice and soybean crops using proximal sensing data and (2) evaluate the performance of a Remote Sensing-Integrated Crop Model (RSCM) when integrated with the ML algorithms. To achieve these objectives, we analyzed rice and soybean datasets to identify the most effective ML algorithms for modeling the relationship between LAI and vegetation indices derived from canopy reflectance measurements. Our analyses employed a variety of ML regression models, including ridge, lasso, support vector machine, random forest, and extra trees. Among these, the extra trees regression model demonstrated the best performance, achieving test scores of 0.86 and 0.89 for rice and soybean crops, respectively. This model closely replicated observed LAI values under different nitrogen treatments, achieving Nash-Sutcliffe efficiencies of 0.93 for rice and 0.97 for soybean. Our findings show that incorporating ML techniques into RSCM effectively captures seasonal LAI variations across diverse field management practices, offering significant potential for improving crop growth and productivity monitoring.

Project description:Chlorophyll content is an important indicator of the growth status of japonica rice. The objective of this paper is to develop an inversion model that can predict japonica rice chlorophyll content by using hyperspectral image of rice canopy collected with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). UAV-based hyperspectral remote sensing can provide timely and cost-effective monitoring of chlorophyll content over a large region. The study was based on hyperspectral data collected at the Shenyang Agricultural College Academician Japonica Rice Experimental Base in 2018 and 2019. In order to extract the salient information embedded in the high-dimensional hyperspectral data, we first perform dimension reduction by using a successive projection algorithm (SPA). The SPA extracts the characteristic hyperspectral bands that are used as input to the inversion model. The characteristic bands extracted by SPA are 410 nm, 481 nm, 533 nm, 702 nm, and 798 nm, respectively. The inversion model is developed by using an extreme learning machine (ELM), the parameters of which are optimized by using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO-ELM algorithm can accurately model the nonlinear relationship between hyperspectral data and chlorophyll content. The model achieves a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.791 and a root mean square error of RMSE = 8.215 mg/L. The model exhibits good predictive ability and can provide data support and model reference for research on nutrient diagnosis of japonica rice.

Project description:Mapping crop variables at different growth stages is crucial to inform farmers and plant breeders about the crop status. For mapping purposes, inversion of canopy radiative transfer models (RTMs) is a viable alternative to parametric and non-parametric regression models, which often lack transferability in time and space. Due to the physical nature of RTMs, inversion outputs can be delivered in sound physical units that reflect the underlying processes in the canopy. In this study, we explored the capabilities of the coupled leaf–canopy RTM PROSAIL applied to high-spatial-resolution (0.015 m) multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data to retrieve the leaf chlorophyll content (LCC), leaf area index (LAI) and canopy chlorophyll content (CCC) of sweet and silage maize throughout one growing season. Two different retrieval methods were tested: (i) applying the RTM inversion scheme to mean reflectance data derived from single breeding plots (mean reflectance approach) and (ii) applying the same inversion scheme to an orthomosaic to separately retrieve the target variables for each pixel of the breeding plots (pixel-based approach). For LCC retrieval, soil and shaded pixels were removed by applying simple vegetation index thresholding. Retrieval of LCC from UAV data yielded promising results compared to ground measurements (sweet maize RMSE = 4.92 μg/cm2, silage maize RMSE = 3.74 μg/cm2) when using the mean reflectance approach. LAI retrieval was more challenging due to the blending of sunlit and shaded pixels present in the UAV data, but worked well at the early developmental stages (sweet maize RMSE = 0.70m2/m2, silage RMSE = 0.61m2/m2 across all dates). CCC retrieval significantly benefited from the pixel-based approach compared to the mean reflectance approach (RMSEs decreased from 45.6 to 33.1 μg/m2). We argue that high-resolution UAV imagery is well suited for LCC retrieval, as shadows and background soil can be precisely removed, leaving only green plant pixels for the analysis. As for retrieving LAI, it proved to be challenging for two distinct varieties of maize that were characterized by contrasting canopy geometry.

Project description:Above-ground biomass (AGB) is an important indicator for effectively assessing crop growth and yield and, in addition, is an important ecological indicator for assessing the efficiency with which crops use light and store carbon in ecosystems. However, most existing methods using optical remote sensing to estimate AGB cannot observe structures below the maize canopy, which may lead to poor estimation accuracy. This paper proposes to use the stem-leaf separation strategy integrated with unmanned aerial vehicle LiDAR and multispectral image data to estimate the AGB in maize. First, the correlation matrix was used to screen optimal the LiDAR structural parameters (LSPs) and the spectral vegetation indices (SVIs). According to the screened indicators, the SVIs and the LSPs were subjected to multivariable linear regression (MLR) with the above-ground leaf biomass (AGLB) and above-ground stem biomass (AGSB), respectively. At the same time, all SVIs derived from multispectral data and all LSPs derived from LiDAR data were subjected to partial least squares regression (PLSR) with the AGLB and AGSB, respectively. Finally, the AGB was computed by adding the AGLB and the AGSB, and each was estimated by using the MLR and the PLSR methods, respectively. The results indicate a strong correlation between the estimated and field-observed AGB using the MLR method (R 2 = 0.82, RMSE = 79.80 g/m2, NRMSE = 11.12%) and the PLSR method (R 2 = 0.86, RMSE = 72.28 g/m2, NRMSE = 10.07%). The results indicate that PLSR more accurately estimates AGB than MLR, with R 2 increasing by 0.04, root mean square error (RMSE) decreasing by 7.52 g/m2, and normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) decreasing by 1.05%. In addition, the AGB is more accurately estimated by combining LiDAR with multispectral data than LiDAR and multispectral data alone, with R 2 increasing by 0.13 and 0.30, respectively, RMSE decreasing by 22.89 and 54.92 g/m2, respectively, and NRMSE decreasing by 4.46% and 7.65%, respectively. This study improves the prediction accuracy of AGB and provides a new guideline for monitoring based on the fusion of multispectral and LiDAR data.

Project description:Yield gaps of maize (Zea mays L.) in the smallholder farms of eastern India are outcomes of a complex interplay of climatic variations, soil fertility gradients, socio-economic factors, and differential management intensities. Several machine learning approaches were used in this study to investigate the relative influences of multiple biophysical, socio-economic, and crop management features in determining maize yield variability using several machine learning approaches. Soil fertility status was assessed in 180 farms and paired with the surveyed data on maize yield, socio-economic conditions, and agronomic management. The C&RT relative variable importance plot identified farm size, total labor, soil factors, seed rate, fertilizer, and organic manure as influential factors. Among the three approaches compared for classifying maize yield, the artificial neural network (ANN) yielded the least (25%) misclassification on validation samples. The random forest partial dependence plots revealed a positive association between farm size and maize productivity. Nonlinear support vector machine boundary analysis for the eight top important variables revealed complex interactions underpinning maize yield response. Notably, farm size and total labor synergistically increased maize yield. Future research integrating these algorithms with empirical crop growth models and crop simulation models for ex-ante yield estimations could result in further improvement.

Project description:The presented paper deals with the issue of selecting a suitable system for monitoring the winter wheat crop in order to determine its condition as a basis for variable applications of nitrogen fertilizers. In a four-year (2017-2020) field experiment, 1400 ha of winter wheat crop were monitored using the ISARIA on-the-go system and remote sensing using Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite images. The results of spectral measurements of ISARIA vegetation indices (IRMI, IBI) were statistically compared with the values of selected vegetation indices obtained from Sentinel-2 (EVI, GNDVI, NDMI, NDRE, NDVI and NRERI) in order to determine potential hips. Positive correlations were found between the vegetation indices determined by the ISARIA system and indices obtained by multispectral images from Sentinel-2 satellites. The correlations were medium to strong (r = 0.51-0.89). Therefore, it can be stated that both technologies were able to capture a similar trend in the development of vegetation. Furthermore, the influence of climatic conditions on the vegetation indices was analyzed in individual years of the experiment. The values of vegetation indices show significant differences between the individual years. The results of vegetation indices obtained by the analysis of spectral images from Sentinel-2 satellites varied the most. The values of winter wheat yield varied between the individual years. Yield was the highest in 2017 (7.83 t/ha), while the lowest was recorded in 2020 (6.96 t/ha). There was no statistically significant difference between 2018 (7.27 t/ha) and 2019 (7.44 t/ha).

Project description:Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are being widely promoted in many areas in sub-Saharan Africa to recuperate degraded soils and improve ecosystem services. This study examined the effects of three tillage practices [conventional moldboard plowing (CT), hand hoeing (MT) and no-tillage (NT)], and three cropping systems (continuous maize, soybean-maize annual rotation, and soybean/maize intercropping) on soil quality, crop productivity, and profitability in researcher and farmer managed on-farm trials from 2010 to 2013 in northwestern Ghana. In the researcher managed mother trial, the CA practices of NT, residue retention and crop rotation/intercropping maintained higher soil organic carbon, and total soil N compared to conventional tillage practices after 4 years. Soil bulk density was higher under NT than under CT soils in the researcher managed mother trails or farmers managed baby trials after 4 years. In the researcher managed mother trial, there was no significant difference between tillage systems or cropping systems in maize or soybean yields in the first three seasons. In the fourth season, crop rotation had the greatest impact on maize yields with CT maize following soybean increasing yields by 41 and 49% compared to MT and NT maize, respectively. In the farmers' managed trials, maize yield ranged from 520 to 2700 kg ha-1 and 300 to 2000 kg ha-1 for CT and NT, respectively, reflecting differences in experience of farmers with NT. Averaged across farmers, CT cropping systems increased maize and soybean yield ranging from 23 to 39% compared with NT cropping systems. Partial budget analysis showed that the cost of producing maize or soybean is 20-29% cheaper with NT systems and gives higher returns to labor compared to CT practice. Benefit-to-cost ratios also show that NT cropping systems are more profitable than CT systems. We conclude that with time, implementation of CA practices involving NT, crop rotation, intercropping of maize and soybean along with crop residue retention presents a win-win scenario due to improved crop yield, increased economic return, and trends of increasing soil fertility. The biggest challenge, however, remains with producing enough biomass and retaining same on the field.

Project description:Plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Because agriculture's productivity is based on this process, a combination of technologies to reduce emissions and enhance soil carbon storage can allow this sector to achieve net negative emissions while maintaining high productivity. Unfortunately, current row-crop agricultural practice generates about 5% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and European Union. To reduce these emissions, significant effort has been focused on changing farm management practices to maximize soil carbon. In contrast, the potential to reduce emissions has largely been neglected. Through a combination of innovations in digital agriculture, crop and microbial genetics, and electrification, we estimate that a 71% (1,744 kg CO2e/ha) reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from row crop agriculture is possible within the next 15 y. Importantly, emission reduction can lower the barrier to broad adoption by proceeding through multiple stages with meaningful improvements that gradually facilitate the transition to net negative practices. Emerging voluntary and regulatory ecosystems services markets will incentivize progress along this transition pathway and guide public and private investments toward technology development. In the difficult quest for net negative emissions, all tools, including emission reduction and soil carbon storage, must be developed to allow agriculture to maintain its critical societal function of provisioning society while, at the same time, generating environmental benefits.
