Abstract EN
For estimation of grain yield in wheat, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is considered as a potential screening tool.
Field experiments were conducted to scrutinize the response of NDVI to yield behavior of different wheat cultivars and nitrogen fertilization at agronomic research area, University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) during the two years 2008-09 and 2009-10.
For recording the value of NDVI, Green seeker (Handheld-505) was used.
Split plot design was used as experimental model in, keeping four nitrogen rates ( N 1 = 0 kg ha−1, N 2 = 55 kg ha−1, N 3 = 110 kg ha−1, and N 4 = 220 kg ha−1) in main plots and ten wheat cultivars (Bakkhar-2001, Chakwal-50, Chakwal-97, Faisalabad-2008, GA-2002, Inqlab-91, Lasani-2008, Miraj-2008, Sahar-2006, and Shafaq-2006) in subplots with four replications.
Impact of nitrogen and difference between cultivars were forecasted through NDVI.
The results suggested that nitrogen treatment N4 (220 kg ha−1) and cultivar Faisalabad-2008 gave maximum NDVI value (0.85) at grain filling stage among all treatments.
The correlation among NDVI at booting, grain filling, and maturity stages with grain yield was positive ( R 2 = 0.90 ; R 2 = 0.90 ; R 2 = 0.95 ), respectively.
So, booting, grain filling, and maturity can be good depictive stages during mid and later growth stages of wheat crop under agroclimatic conditions of Faisalabad and under similar other wheat growing environments in the country.
