A key challenge is how to optimize nitrogen (N) management to ensure high yield production while improving N use efficiency and protecting the environment. Handheld chlorophyll meter (CM) and active crop canopy sensors have been used to improve rice N management in this region. However, these technologies are still time consuming for large-scale applications. Satellite remote sensing provides a promising technology for large-scale crop growth monitoring and precision management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of using FORMOSAT-2 satellite images to diagnose rice N status for guiding topdressing N application at the stem elongation stage in Northeast China. Five farmers\u2019 fields (three in 2011 and two in 2012) were selected from the Qixing Farm in Heilongjiang Province of Northeast China. FORMOSAT-2 satellite images were collected in late June. Simultaneously, 92 field samples were collected and six agronomic variables, including aboveground biomass, leaf area index (LAI), plant N concentration (PNC), plant N uptake (PNU), CM readings and N nutrition index (NNI) defined as the ratio of actual PNC and critical PNC, were determined. Based on the FORMOSAT-2 imagery, a total of 50 vegetation indices (VIs) were computed and correlated with the field-based agronomic variables. Results indicated that 45% of NNI variability could be explained using Ratio Vegetation Index 3 (RVI3) directly across years. A more practical and promising approach was proposed by using satellite remote sensing to estimate aboveground biomass and PNU at the panicle initiation stage and then using these two variables to estimate NNI indirectly (R2 = 0.52 across years). Further, the difference between the estimated PNU and the critical PNU can be used to guide the topdressing N application rate adjustments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs70810646","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]],"date-time":"2015-08-18T10:31:11Z","timestamp":1439893871000},"page":"10646-10667","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":127,"title":["Satellite Remote Sensing-Based In-Season Diagnosis of Rice Nitrogen Status in Northeast China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0455-795X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shanyu","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Cologne, 50923 Cologne, Germany"}]},{"given":"Yuxin","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Guangming","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6979-0029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Department of Geography, Minnesota State University, Mankato, MN 56001, USA"}]},{"given":"Xiaobo","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Chuanxiang","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Weifeng","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5702-4914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Gnyp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Research Centre Hanninghof, Yara International, 48249 Duelmen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Lenz-Wiedemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Cologne, 50923 Cologne, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9993-4588","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uwe","family":"Rascher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich, Institute of Bio-and Geosciences, IBG-2: Plant Sciences,  D-52425 J\u00fclich, Germany"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Bareth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agro-Informatics and Sustainable Development, College of Resources and Environmental Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Cologne, 50923 Cologne, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1016\/S0928-3420(00)80003-8","article-title":"The contribution of rice research to poverty alleviation","volume":"7","author":"Dawe","year":"2000","journal-title":"Stud.
