  1. History of Predicting Yield Potential TEAM VRT Oklahoma State University

  2. Outline • Yield Goals and Potential Yield • Soil Test vs. Sensor Based • Sufficiency: Mobile vs. Immobile Nutrients • Bray’s mobility concept • How to generate nutrient recommendations • What should we learn from soil testing • Subsoil nutrient availability • Soil Testing: Correlation/Calibration/Recommendation • Models for Interpretation of Response • Interfering agronomic factors

  3. Yield Goal/Potential Yield • Yield Goal: yield per acre you hope to grow (Dahnke et al., 1988) • Potential yield: highest possible yield obtainable with ideal management, FOR specific soil and weather conditions • Maximum Yield: grain yield achievable when all manageable growth factors (nutrients, insects, disease, and weeds) are nonlimiting and the environment is ideal

  4. Yield Goals in the Literature • Yield per acre you hope to grow (Dahnke et al. (1988). • Highest yield attained in the last 4-5 years and that is usually 30-33% higher than avg. yield (J. Goos, 1998). • Aim for a 10-20% increase over the recent average (Rehm and Schmitt, 1989). • Yield goal should be based on how much water is available (stored soil water to 1.5m, Black and Bauer, 1988). • When Yield Goals are used it explicitly places the risk of predicting the environment (good or bad) on the producer.

  5. Value of Using Yield Goals • Nutrient removal can be reliably estimated for a given yield level in specific crops. • Selected Yield Goal defines the risk the producer is willing to take. • Yield Goal can define the limits in terms of economic inputs when considering herbicides, insecticides, etc.

  6. Importance of Predicting Potential Yield • Seasonal N need directly related to observed yield. • NUE decreases with increasing N rate. • Known Potential Yield = Known N Input = Highest NUE.

  7. YieldGoal Yield Goal +30% Grain yield Average Yield Bound by Environment and Management Max Yield YPMAX PotentialYieldYP0 Potential Yield with N, YPN

  8. Predicting N Needs • Use of Yield Goals. • Based on past season yields. • May take into account current-year preplant conditions of available moisture and residual N. • Seldom is adjusted for midseason conditions to alter N inputs. • Use of Potential Yield. • Reliability of predicting final yield (and N requirement) from existing soil and crop conditions should increase as harvest approaches.

  9. Spatial Variability and Yield Potential • Significant soil variability at distances less than 30 m apart (Lengnick, 1997) • In order to describe the variability encountered in field experiments, soil, plant and indirect measures should be made at the 1m or submeter resolution • Significant differences in soil test P, organic C, and pH were found at distances <0.30m (OSU)

  10. Crop Response/Models to Predict Yield (N need) • CERES (Crop-Environment Resource Synthesis) crop response model was not useful in predicting wheat grain yield (Moulin and Beckie, 1993) • Complicated. • Total N uptake at Feekes growth stage 5 was found to be a good predictor of yield (Reeves et al., 1993) • Worked some, but not all years.

  11. History of Predicting Potential Yield • 1. SF45 = (NDVI4 + NDVI5)/days from F4 to F5 • INSEY (in-season-estimated-yield) • GDD = (Tmin + Tmax)/2 – 4.4°C • 2. EY = (NDVI4 + NDVI5)/GDD from F4 to F5 • 3. INSEY = (NDVI)/days from planting to sensing • 4. INSEY = (NDVI)/days from planting to sensing where (GDD>0)
