Knowledge of foliar nitrogen (N) concentration is important in pecan (Carya illinoinensis (Wang.) K. Koch) management protocols. Lower cost and/or rapid methods to determine foliar N are desirable and may result in improved management strategies as well as enable precision agricultural practices to be deployed in pecan production. This study investigates using a portable chlorophyll meter and Vis-NIR camera to rapidly determine pecan foliar N in situ. Relationships of SPAD values from a chlorophyll meter (Minolta SPAD 502Plus) and vegetative indices calculated from camera image data to foliar N determined by chemical analysis were investigated. SPAD readings were taken monthly from May through October on 'Pawnee', 'Kanza', and 'Maramec' pecan cultivars in Oklahoma in 2010. Images of the same 'Pawnee' and 'Kanza' trees were collected in September and October of 2010 with a truck-mounted multispectral camera using ambient light. Correlation of foliar N to SPAD values was poor in May for all cultivars but distinct significant linear relationships were found for 'Maramec' and 'Pawnee' for each of the other months tested withR 2 ranging from 0.40 to 0.87. Data from 'Kanza' had significant relationships in June and October with R 2 of 0.39 and 0.72, respectively. Normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) and reflectance data extracted from Vis-NIR camera images were significantly correlated to foliar N in both months of the study on 'Pawnee' but only in September for 'Kanza'. The various relationships had R 2 between 0.21 and 0.51.
