ABSTRACT.- The rice sector is facing the challenge of increasing rice yields while maintaining or improving input use efficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine the most effective vegetation indices for monitoring nitrogen uptake (N uptake) under different irrigation techniques. The study was conducted in Uruguay over two rice-growing seasons. A split plot experimental design featured two irrigation treatments (main plots): continuous flooding (C) and alternate wetting and drying (AWD).
