Predictive models building to assess the state of deterioration in the availability of nutrients (N, P and K) in the soil with time by remote sensing data
Abdulsalam Mashaal Faisal Aljumaily, Dr. Ammar Younes Ahmed Kashmoola
Abstract
Agricultural fields close to Rabia district, northwest of Nineveh Governorate / Iraq were selected for the
study, as the study area is located between the points (36°31'51.34'' and 36°43'40.343'') north and the
points (24°16'14.475'' and 42° 34'50.99'') east, and the study area was approximately 52.5 hectares
(210) km2. Predictive models were built resulting from multiple linear and nonlinear regression
relationships between remote sensing data and ready concentration values of the three necessary
components (N, P and K) measured in the laboratory, in order to apply the predictive model to space
data for previous years and assess the state of deterioration in soil fertility for two decades of time.
The results of the study showed the possibility of applying predictive models to space data for previous
years to give results with a high spatial accuracy of (0.9713, 0.9492 and 0.9670) for nitrogen,
phosphorous and potassium, respectively. Spatial maps could be drawn for each of the three studied
years (2002, 2012 and 2022) and for each of the three studied nutrients. The amount of deterioration
that occurred and a decrease in the concentration of nutrients over time was observed as a result of bad
management and poor exploitation of the earth's resources
Keywords
