abstract = {Detailed knowledge of the intra-field variability of soil
properties and crop characteristics is indispensable for the
establishment of sustainable precision agriculture. We
present an approach that combines ground-based
agrogeophysical soil and aerial crop data to delineate
field-specific management zones that we interpret with soil
attribute measurements of texture, bulk density, and soil
moisture, as well as yield and nitrate residue in the soil
after potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivation. To
delineate the management zones, we use aerial drone-based
normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), spatial
electromagnetic induction (EMI) soil scanning, and the
EMI–NDVI data combination as input in a machine learning
clustering technique. We tested this approach in three
successive years on six agricultural fields (two per year).
The field-scale EMI data included spatial soil information
of the upper 0–50 cm, to approximately match the soil
depth sampled for attribute measurements. The NDVI
measurements over the growing season provide information on
crop development. The management zones delineated from EMI
data outperformed the management zones derived from NDVI in
terms of spatial coherence and showed differences in
properties relevant for agricultural management: texture,
soil moisture deficit, yield, and nitrate residue. The
combined EMI–NDVI analysis provided no extra benefit. This
underpins the importance of including spatially distributed
soil information in crop data interpretation, while
emphasizing that high-resolution soil information is
essential for variable rate applications and agronomic
modeling.},
