摘要： Context or problem: Nitrogen is one of the important elements of crops, which plays a decisive role in crop growth and development and the formation of yields. Monitoring of rice organ-scale nitrogen concentration based on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images is of great significance for rice field management and yield prediction.Objective or research question: Previous studies have focused on the use of traditional statistical methods and chlorophyll-related vegetation indices to construct plant nitrogen concentration, with models lacking generalizability.Methods: In this study, rice field trials of two varieties (NJ9108, YD6) and nitrogen fertilizer treatments (N0-N3: 0, 105, 210 and 315 kg/ha) were conducted for 3 years with manual sampling and UAV digital and hyperspectral images during key fertility periods. Based on the data of the whole growth periods and combined with vegetation indices (VIs), color indices (CIs), hyperspectral parameters (HPs), texture indices (TIs) and machine-learning algorithms, monitoring models of nitrogen concentration at the organ scale of rice were constructed and used to estimate the N content of multiple organs (leaf and stem) of rice at different periods. Field experiments were used to collect the multi-organ nitrogen concentration of rice and the remote sensing (RS) data of UAV during the critical growth period of the two years (2021, 2022), and machine-learning algorithms were used to construct the estimation models.Results: The results showed that VIs had good correlations with leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC), stem nitrogen concentration (SNC) and plant nitrogen concentration (PNC), with correlation coefficients (r) of 0.86, 0.74 and 0.81, respectively. Machine learning estimation models combining multiple types of RS indices were more ac-curate than single parameter models constructed by traditional statistical methods, with the LNC optimal model (R2 = 0.8, RMSE = 3.83 mg/g), the SNC optimal model (R2 = 0.7, RMSE = 2.43 mg/g) and the PNC optimal model (R2 = 0.7, RMSE = 3.19 mg/g). Validated using data from 2020, the machine-learning models were far more accurate than traditional methods. Conclusions: These results show that the use of multi-source remote sensing data based on machine-learning algorithms can effectively estimate the nitrogen concentration of organs in rice. Implications: This study provides an accurate, stable and universal method for estimating rice nitrogen concentration in rice organs, which can be used as a reference for estimating rice nitrogen concentration in large fields using UAV RS technology.
