Normalizing Satellite Estimated Yield
• Normalization tends to remove the effect of weather, disease and other factors on the average yield.
• This minimizes the effect of abnormally high or yields when yield variability is compared between years or averaged over years.
• Yields can be normalized by dividing by the average yield for the field.

Conclusions
• Satellite imagery can be used to predict yields.
• Normalized estimated yield can be used for management decisions:– Define average relative yield– Identify regions of high and low yield whose
cause changes slowly over time• Drainage• Soil type• Organic matter• pH
Conclusions• Images can be used to define
management zones for the purpose of managing these variables.
• Imagery can complement yield monitor data or when yield data are not available can serve as a surrogate.
• Currently, Landsat TM images are the only source of historical data for the entire United States, and, despite the coarse resolution provides, a means to begin managing less than field size areas.
