781803 Description

Purdue Agronomy Farm Corn Potassium & Phosphorous (781803)


The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of different levels of soil phosphorous and potassium on the reflectance and radiant temperatures of corn. Plots for data collection were selected from a long term experiment.

Measurements of reflectance and radiant temperatures of the corn canopies were made with the Exotech 20C field spectroradiometer system and the Exotech 100 Landsat band field radiometer system at approximately 7-10 day intervals throughout the growing season. Agronomic characterization of the canopies included: leaf area index, biomass, percent soil cover, height, development stage and grain yield, vertical and oblique photographs were also taken of the canopies.
