The use of chemical fertilizers in rice field management directly affects rice yield. Traditional rice cultivation often relies on the experience of farmers to develop fertilization plans, which cannot be adjusted according to the fertilizer requirements of rice. At present, agricultural drones are widely used for early monitoring of rice, but due to their lack of rationality, they cannot directly guide fertilization. How to accurately apply nitrogen fertilizer during the tillering stage to stabilize rice yield is an urgent problem to be solved in the current large-scale rice production process.
WOFOST is a highly mechanistic crop growth model that can effectively simulate the effects of fertilization on rice growth and development. However, due to its lack of spatial heterogeneity, its ability to simulate crop growth at the field level is weak. This study is based on UAV remote sensing to obtain hyperspectral data of rice canopy and assimilation with the WOFOST crop growth model, to study the decision-making method of nitrogen fertilizer application during the rice tillering stage. Extracting hyperspectral features of rice canopy using Continuous Projection Algorithm and constructing a hyperspectral inversion model for rice biomass based on Extreme Learning Machine. By using two data assimilation methods, Ensemble Kalman Filter and Four-Dimensional Variational, the inverted biomass of the rice biomass hyperspectral inversion model and the localized WOFOST crop growth model were assimilated, and the simulation results of the WOFOST model were corrected. With the average yield as the goal, use the WOFOST model to formulate fertilization decisions and create a fertilization prescription map to achieve precise fertilization during the tillering stage of rice.

This study enhances the rationality of unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing machines through data assimilation, providing a new theoretical basis for the decision-making of rice fertilization.
