Spring Wheat North Dakota (751213)

<p>The objective of this factorial experiment is to quantify the major variables affecting wheat growth, development and yield which in turn affect its spectral response. The factors and levels of each factor are:</p>

<ol>
<li>Soil Moisture: (1) Fallow in 1974, (2) Wheat in 1974</li>
<li>Planting Date: (1) May 20, (2) May 30</li>
<li>Variety: (1) Olaf (semi dwart), (2) Ellar (standard height)</li>
<li>Nitrogen Fertilizer: (1) None, (2) 20 lbs/acre</li>
</ol>

<p>This experiment is related to the Dryland/Irrigated Winter Wheat Experiments done at the Finney County, Kansas Agriculture Experiment Station during 1975. These data were collected as part of the LACIE Field Measurements Project. More information can be found in the LACIE Field Measurements Project Plan, 1974-75 and in the LACIE Field Measurements Data Library Catalog, Volume I, 1975 crop year.</p>

<p>The test took place in 1975.</p>

<p>The supporting docs include a brief summary of used instruments, a wavelength table (Wavelength_ASCII.txt), reflectance note and reflectance tables (ReflectanceTable206.txt and ReflectanceTableMulti.txt), and file format description (ExperimentDataFormat3.txt). The format description file is in ASCII format in lines of 80 characters.</p>

<p>This research dataset is part the Field Research Data Library that consists of over 200,000 spectral observations of soils and vegetation that have been collected since 1972 till 1991 as part of the research focused on vegetation and soils at the Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing (LARS) located at the Purdue University.</p>
