The objective of this factorial experiment is to quantify the major variables affecting wheat growth, development and yield which in turn affects its spectral response. See the level of factor codes below for the treatments used.
This experiment was a continuation of the Spring Wheat North Dakota experiment for 1975 and is related to the Dryland/Irrigated Winter Wheat Experiments done at the Finney County, Kansas Agriculture Experiment Station during 1975 and 1976. These data were collected as a part of the LACIE Field Measurements Project. More information can be found in the LACIE Field Measurements Project Plan, 1075-76 and in the LACIE Field Measurements Data Library Catalog, Volume II, 1976 crop year.
