| Popis: | ABSTRACT Adjustments in the nitrogen fertilization recommendation in wheat fields are essential to promote an increase in nitrogen (N) use efficiency by the crop. The real-time estimation of the nutritional demand of plants considering the spatial variability is one of the efficient ways to perform this adjustment. This study aimed to develop a model for the indication of topdressing nitrogen fertilization as a function of nutritional N demand using NDVI. Data from field experiments conducted in four regions of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, during the 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 agricultural years using cultivars with significant sowing areas in the state, were used to construct the model. The analysis of the relationship between the amounts of N accumulated in the shoot and NDVI values allowed establishing a single model for different cultivars. The proposed model is sensitive to capturing regional edaphoclimatic differences and variability in N dynamics in cultivated areas. A consistent relationship was found between NDVI values and biomass and N content, which supported the generation of the topdressing N indication model for wheat. Therefore, the proposed model has the potential to maximize N use and grain yield, in addition to optimizing the economic return of the crop. |
