Wheat yield and protein estimation with handheld- and UAV-based reflectance measurements

 Core Ideas

∙ GreenSeeker (GS) and UAV NDVI at Feekes 5 shows the most potential for in-season wheat yield estimation.

∙ Comparable accuracy of yield estimation was achieved with GS NDVI and UAV NDVI.

∙ The accuracy of yield estimation was comparable for all wheat classes and cultivars.

∙ Estimation of in-season wheat protein content remains a challenge.

UI Parma MS student to serve on national Graduate Student Committee

 

Our MS student, Emmanuella Owusu Ansah, a graduate research assistant in the Cropping Systems Agronomy program at UI Parma, has been selected to serve on this committee, and she will also be participating in the Graduate Student Leadership Conference at the tri-societies' annual meeting in Baltimore, MD in November.
