Abstract

Understanding the variation in crop yield within fields is important for spatially variable management. Our aim was to classify specific landform units (LF), and to identify their impact on biomass development. A Digital Elevation Model was used to classify up to 11 landform units. Crop Grain Yield was measured by harvesting at 192 sampling points for the years 1999-2001 at the field site “Bei Lotte” in Luettewitz/Saxony. The patterns of yield were related to specific landforms. Landform analysis proved to be helpful in explaining variation in grain yield at the field.
