Effect of ground speed on sensor readings collected over 300 feet (bermudagrass pasture) with a range from 0.3 to 0.83 in NDVI (August, 2005, Efaw Experiment Station). As is noted, a higher frequency of data is collected at 2 MPH, but the trends are the same (2, 4, and 8 MPH)

Hand-held
GreenSeeker Sensors have now been adapted to include an EXCEL program
whereby FIELD SCALE fertilizer N rates can be determined by
Crop Consultants.
This program is available in Spanish and English and is being tested in
Mexico, Ecuador, and Oklahoma.Current programs have been adapted for Winter Wheat and Spring Wheat and will soon be available for corn and bermudagrass pasture.
The graph above plots NDVI readings taken from 0.4m2 plots during the day (wheat, Feekes 4 and Feekes 5) versus the same plots where NDVI readings were taken at night.

Ph.D. Candidate, Kyle Freeman collects by-plant sensor readings from corn near Stillwater, OK.
The hand-held GreenSeeker sensor is equipped with a COMPAQ iPAQ pocket PC and specific software for data collection. The GreenSeeker hand-held is an active sensor, emitting its own light, thus being unaffected by time of day or night, cloud cover, etc. This is the same sensor that is on-board the variable N rate applicator being developed by N-Tech Industries, capable of sensing and treating each 4 square feet in wheat in corn based on yield potential and a response index.
