Algorithms were developed to predict spatial variation of yield and quality within winter wheat crops intended for bread-making. Bayesian networks were used to predict spatial probability maps of yield and quality based on data sources including yield maps, fertiliser applications, soil variables and Sentinel 2 satellite data. Results presented here for five UK fields show that there was a 65% likelihood of achieving a grain protein premium with variable rate nitrogen application compared to 50% with uniform N. Achieving this premium would increase revenues by £150/ha. A similar comparison for five German fields did not demonstrate a higher probability of profit.
