The results illustrate the potential for active optical sensors to be used in soybean research and production as a tool to determine input effects and direct in-season management. Further work is needed to better understand how different inputs affect sensor readings, to what extent yield-limiting variables affect sensor readings, and at what growth stage the sensors are most effective. Therefore, the objectives of this project are to: 1.) Determine the effectiveness of using optical sensor reflectance readings to identify the effects of early and late season inputs, 2.) Determine the sensitivity of the crop sensor to detect stresses induced by soybean cyst nematode infestation for the evaluation...
