In this study, we conducted four experiments using different nitrogen (N) application rates (0\u2013400 kg N\u2219ha\u22121) in three Japonica rice cultivars (Wuyunjing24, Ningjing4, and Lianjing7) grown in Jiangsu province, Eastern China, from 2015\u20132016. Spectral reflectance data were collected multiple times during early to mid-growth stages using an active mounted sensor (RapidScan CS-45, Holland Scientific Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA). Data were then used to calculate optimal vegetation indexes (normalized difference red edge, NDRE; normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI; ratio vegetation index, RVI; red-edge ratio vegetation index, RERVI), which were used to develop a dynamic change model and in-season grain yield prediction model. The NDRE index was more stable than other indexes (NDVI, RVI, RERVI), showing less standard deviation at the same N fertilizer rate. The R2 of the relationships between leaf area index (LAI), plant nitrogen accumulation (PNA), and NDRE also increased compared to other indexes. These findings suggest that NDRE is suitable for analysis of paddy rice N nutrition. According to real-time series changes in NDRE, the resulting dynamic model followed a sigmoid curve, with a coefficient of determination (R2) &gt;0.9 and relative root-mean-square error &lt;5%. Moreover, the feature platform value (saturation value, SV) of the NDRE-based model accurately predicted the differences between treatments and the final grain yield levels. R2 values of the relationship between SV and yield were &gt;0.7. For every 0.1 increase in SV, grain yield increased by 3608.1 kg\u00b7ha\u22121. Overall, our new dynamic model effectively predicted grain yield at stem elongation and booting stages, providing real-time crop N nutrition data for management of N fertilizer topdressing in rice production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11040387","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,14]],"date-time":"2019-02-14T11:54:13Z","timestamp":1550145253000},"page":"387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":93,"title":["Predicting Rice Grain Yield Based on Dynamic Changes in Vegetation Indexes during Early to Mid-Growth Stages"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ke","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaokang","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Pengcheng","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Wanyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaojun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1884-2404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Weixing","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Yongchao","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering and Technology Center for Information Agriculture, Key Laboratory of Crop System Analysis and Decision Making, Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Information Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, 1 Weigang Road, Nanjing 210095, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1016\/j.agsy.2017.10.004","article-title":"Considering farmers\u2019 situated knowledge of using agricultural decision support systems (AgriDSS) to Foster farming practices: The case of CropSAT","volume":"159","author":"Lindblom","year":"2018","journal-title":"Agric.
