These onions had enough of a challenge on their hands, wet cold spring leading to very late drilling. Pushed right into the window of Bean Seed Fly and with the loss of a very effective seed treatment very little control options now. #Onion

Drone data provided a good correlation with #onion marketable yield allowing calculation of a predicted yield map & assessment of treatment differences applied to tramline plots @rixfarms @BritishGrowers
Sam Rix retweeted
Ever wondered how best to assess treatment impacts in a field scale onion trial?
Did you know the best relationship between VIs & yield is obtained when using scan data taken just before the tops bend over.
There's advice for more crops in our protocol: inno-veg.org/en/Resource/Det…

Good to present results of #INNOVEG work on #cropsening & #onions to growers this afternoon. The best relationship between Vegetation Indices & marketable yld was obtained from measurements taken just prior to when the onion tops started to bend over with max R2 values of 0.90
