Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop a management zone delineation strategy using reconstruction of yield maps with crop modelling and remote sensing data. Wangzhuang Village in Quzhou County (China), with an average farm size of 0.3 to 0.5 ha, was selected for this study. Satellite images, detailed soil nutrient samples from fields in the village and satellite-derived soil brightness images were available. Their integration allowed for the delineation of management zones at the village level.
