Abstract

Assessment of effectiveness of fertilisation is a complex, multistage procedure. A few methods, used for this purpose, are based mainly on physiological measures acquired from a limited number of plants. Assessment of the process taking into account the entire area, in which the crop is grown, can be conducted using satellite remote sensing methods. The current study presents four fertilisation schemes applied to maize plants, including innovative foliar fertilizers and soil localized fertilization. Nutritional status and condition of the plants were assessed using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and the results were analysed in relation to the grain yield. The findings show that the complex fertilisation technology applied to maize is most effective, producing grain yield which was 42.4% higher than the yield from the control variant.
