Abstract/Contents:"Nitrogen (N) fertiliser makes up approximately 15 % of the total cost of growing a perennial ryegrass seed crop. Therefore accurate estimates of applied N fertiliser are important both financially and environmentally. Optical sensors may have the ability to determine the nitrogen requirements and the output expressed as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). In two experiments carried out in the 2008/09 season a treatment based on estimating nitrogen requirements using NDVI calculations was implemented. Results were promising with NDVI reading increasing as N rate increased until a saturation level. The NDVI readings were then converted in to a nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) where resulting treatments ranked in the top statistical seed yield group in both experiments. In each experiment this technique applied a lower or equal amount of N fertiliser compared to standard best practice while achieving similar seed yields. If NDVI and NNI can be used to predict N requirement of perennial ryegrass this method could provide a tool for variable rate N applications based on crop variability within a field."
