RESUMO
Nitrogen fertilization in spring wheat in southern Brazil is based on yield potential, soil organic matter and previous crop. These variables are not precise and subjected to errors, resulting on N losses and yield potential reduction. For N fertilization, it is necessary to quantify plant N nutritional status to determine top dressing N rates to be applied. Such evaluation can be done by characterizing canopy reflectance signatures using an active sensor. As consequence, N rates applied will be closely related to actual N demand. In this sense, the objectives of the present work were to study the variation of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) during crop development in four wheat cultivars as affected by N availability at emergence and at 5-6 leaf stage and its relation to grain yield. The experiment was carried out at EEA/UFRGS (Eldorado do Sul, RS) in 2009. NDVI in different growth stages, grain yield and yield components were evaluated. NDVI measured by an active sensor was efficient to detect growth variability generated by N availability and correlated well with grain yield of four wheat cultivars. Highest values of NDVI were observed at booting. Our results indicated that NDVI measurement by an active sensor is an efficient tool to evaluate the N nutritional status. This information can be used for site-specific variable N fertilization, according to spatial variability within a field.
