Variable rate technologies and the site-specific management of crop nutrients require real-time spatial information about the potential for response to in-crop management interventions. The spectral and thermal properties of crop canopies could provide relevant information nondestructively and quickly enough to be used by these technologies.
This study aimed to develop indices of the physiological status of wheat canopies that could help to spatially determine the potential for response to in-crop nitrogen fertilisation. Using a digital thermal imaging system and a full range field spectrometer we characterised the thermal and spectral properties of wheat canopies, respectively, growing under different levels of nitrogen, water supply and plant density.
Preliminary results indicate that the combination of thermal and spectral properties of canopies may potentially be used to identify areas in the field under different degree of water and nitrogen stress.
