The study was carried out in a nitrate vulnerable zone in central Switzerland. The focus was set on fertilizer application methods and the use of satellite-based remote sensing to monitor crop growth and nitrogen (N) balance in winter wheat over three years. Sentinel-2 satellite imagery was collected for 27 selected winter wheat site-years. Soil mineral N data, along with crop yield and N uptake measurements, were collected to calculate field-specific N surplus. Preliminary results showed a consistent relationship between satellite-based information and crop growth across the monitored site-years, which reflects the variations in N application rates and N uptake by the crop.
