Abstract

Context

Yield estimation in the fall is crucial for effective pre-winter management of winter rapeseed. Integrating remotely sensed leaf area index (LAI) with crop models has great potential for improving simulations of crop yields.

Objective

The objective of this study was to modify the DSSAT-Rapeseed model and by integrating LAI adjustments from satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images to improve the accuracy of rapeseed yield predictions at early stages from both experimental plots and actual farm fields.

Methods

A new pest definition, called "target LAI," was created in the COGRO048.PST file within the pest module of DSSAT. The DSSAT model was then modified to adjust leaf weight, leaf area, and leaf nitrogen content based on remotely sensed target LAI. Field investigations and UAV-derived LAI data from two years and two experimental stations were used to calibrate model parameters through a trial-and-error method, selecting the parameter set that minimized the error between model outputs (e.g., LAI and crop yield) and observations. The model's performance was tested with yield data from a different year at the same stations, using pre-winter LAI assimilated through the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). For actual farm fields, dynamic LAI data from Sentinel-2A was integrated with the modified DSSAT model for yield simulation and compared with ground measurements.

Results

By assimilating LAI into the modified DSSAT model, the mean absolute error (MAE) for yield simulation was reduced from 452 to 234 kg/ha in the experimental plot and from 443 to 259 kg/ha in actual farm fields compared to the original DSSAT model.

Conclusions

Integrating UAV and satellite LAI during pre-winter into the modified DSSAT model using data assimilation (EnKF) improved the rapeseed yield prediction.
将无人机和卫星LAI数据整合到改进的dssat -油菜籽模型中以改进产量预测
秋季产量估算对冬油菜冬前有效管理至关重要。将遥感叶面积指数(LAI)与作物模型相结合,在改善作物产量模拟方面具有很大的潜力。目的对dssat -菜籽模型进行修正,通过整合卫星和无人机(UAV)图像的LAI调整,提高试验田和实际农田早期油菜籽产量预测的准确性。方法在COGRO048中创建了一个新的害虫定义,称为“目标LAI”。DSSAT的pest模块中的PST文件。然后基于遥感目标LAI对DSSAT模型进行修正,调整叶片重、叶面积和叶片氮含量。利用野外调查和无人机获得的两年两个实验站的LAI数据,通过试错法校准模型参数,选择模型输出(如LAI和作物产量)与观测值之间误差最小的参数集。利用集成卡尔曼滤波(Ensemble Kalman Filter, EnKF)同化的冬前LAI,对同一站点不同年份的产量数据进行了模型性能测试。对于实际农田,将Sentinel-2A的动态LAI数据与改进的DSSAT模型相结合进行产量模拟,并与地面测量结果进行比较。结果与原始DSSAT模型相比,将LAI同化到改进的DSSAT模型中,产量模拟的平均绝对误差(MAE)在试验田从452降低到234 kg/ha,在实际农田从443降低到259 kg/ha。结论利用数据同化(EnKF)将无人机和卫星冬季LAI整合到改进的DSSAT模型中,提高了油菜籽产量的预测精度。
