Remotely assessing photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency with in situ hyperspectral remote sensing in winter wheat

Non-destructive and rapid methods for estimating nitrogen efficiency are helpful in quantifying and communicating the N use efficiency (NUE) in agricultural production. To accurately evaluate NUE, we analysed the quantitative relationship between leaf photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) and wheat NUE, and investigated the quantitative relationship between PNUE and hyperspectral indices in winter wheat. Our field experiments were...
