Fig. 4. Data represent analysis of variance results between conventional (CT) and strip-tillage (ST) treatments at the Coastal Plain study site for each remotely sensed index. Remotely sensed index values are listed along the primary y axis, percent change from initial surface conditions along the secondary y axis, and wavelength (485–1650 nm) along the x axis for remotely sensed data acquisitions on 24 May, 8 June, and 16 June 2004. Remotely sensed indices include the greenness normalized difference index (GNDVI), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), crop residue index 1 [CRC1 = (1650 – 485 nm)/(1650 + 485 nm)], crop residue index 2 [CRC2 = (1650 – 650 nm)/(1650 + 650 nm)], and crop residue index 3 [CRC3 = (1650 – 660 nm)/(1650 + 660 nm)]. Significant treatment differences for each wavelength are denoted (*) (
= 0.10). Dashed lines represent minimum threshold values for distinguishing between treatments.
