781804 Description

Purdue Agronomy Farm Soybean Potassium & Phosphorous (781804)


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 soybeans. Plots for data collection were selected from a long term experiment.

Measurements of reflectance and radiant temperature of the soybean 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 characterizations 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.
