description | Precision agriculture (PA) aims to identify crop and soil variability to improve management and optimize the use of inputs. Yield maps become a relevant tool for PA planning. Vegetation indices (VI) from remote sensing allow monitoring the spatio-temporal variation of crops in the growing season. The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of different Sentinel-2A VIs to estimate soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) yield within the framework of PA. The study was carried out using a soybean yield map during the 2017/2018 season from a plot located to the south of Córdoba city, Argentina. Every two bands were taken from a Sentinel-2A image from 4/Feb/2018 and VI were calculated using differences, ratios and normalized differences. The absolute value of the Pearson linear correlation coefficient (|r|) between the different IVs and soybean yield was computed. The highest value of |r| (0.726) corresponded to the difference between bands 8 (NIR) and 12 (SWIR), allowing to reproduce with sufficient precision the spatial variability of yields in the plot. |

La agricultura de precisión (AP) apunta a identificar la variabilidad del cultivo y del suelo en un lote para mejorar el manejo y optimizar el empleo de insumos. Los mapas de rendimiento son herramientas relevantes para planificar la AP. Los índices de vegetación (IV) provenientes de la teledetección permiten monitorear la variación espacio-temporal de los cultivos durante la estación de crecimiento. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la idoneidad de diferentes IV de Sentinel-2A para estimar el rendimiento de soja (Glycine max (L.) Merril) en el marco de la AP. El estudio se realizó empleando un mapa de rendimiento de soja (campaña 2017-2018) de un lote ubicado al sur de laciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Se calcularon IV empleando la diferencia, el cociente y la diferencia normalizada, tomando de a dos bandas de una imagen de Sentinel-2A del 4/2/2018. Se computó el valor absoluto del coeficientede correlación lineal de Pearson (|r|) entre los distintos IV y el rendimiento de soja. El mayor valor de |r| (0,726) correspondió a la diferencia entre las bandas 8 (NIR) y 12 (SWIR), permitiendo reproducir con suficiente precisión yanticipación la variabilidad espacial de los rendimientos en el lote.
