Average nitrogen levels in vineyard block

Caption

Imagery taken from a drone flight in early September maps the average nitrogen levels measured in composite leaf samples from 100 test vines in this one-acre vineyard block. The rows of vines here were grown with the goal of inducing different nutrient deficiencies for the team's experiment. Each deficiency sub-block consists of five rows separated by one buffer row as indicated on the map. The nitrogen and magnesium deficient sub-blocks each had relatively lower nitrogen levels as represented by the smaller circles.
