The farmland area in arid and semiarid regions accounts for about 40% of the total area of farmland in the world, and it continues to increase. It is critical for global food security to predict the crop yield in arid and semiarid regions. To improve the prediction of crop yields in arid and semiarid regions, we explored data assimilation-crop modeling strategies for estimating the yield of winter wheat under different water stress conditions across different growing areas. We incorporated leaf area index (LAI) and soil moisture derived from multi-source Sentinel data with the CERES-Wheat model using ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation. According to different water stress conditions, different data assimilation strategies were applied to estimate winter wheat yields in arid and semiarid areas. Sentinel data provided LAI and soil moisture data with higher frequency (&lt;14 d) and higher precision, with root mean square errors (RMSE) of 0.9955 m 2 m -2 and 0.0305 cm 3 cm -3 , respectively, for data assimilation-crop modeling. The temporal continuity of the CERES-Wheat model and the spatial continuity of the remote sensing images obtained from the Sentinel data were integrated using the assimilation method. The RMSE of LAI and soil water obtained by the assimilation method were lower than those simulated by the CERES-Wheat model, which were reduced by 0.4458 m 2 m -2 and 0.0244 cm 3 cm -3 , respectively. Assimilation of LAI independently estimated yield with high precision and efficiency in irrigated areas for winter wheat, with RMSE and absolute relative error (ARE) of 427.57 kg ha -1 and 6.07%, respectively. However, in rain-fed areas of winter wheat under water stress, assimilating both LAI and soil moisture achieved the highest accuracy in estimating yield (RMSE = 424.75 kg ha -1 , ARE = 9.55%) by modifying the growth and development of the canopy simultaneously and by promoting soil water balance. Sentinel data can provide high temporal and spatial resolution data for deriving LAI and soil moisture in the study area, thereby improving the estimation accuracy of the assimilation model at a regional scale. In the arid and semiarid region of the southeastern Loess Plateau, assimilation of LAI independently can obtain high-precision yield estimation of winter wheat in irrigated area, while it requires assimilating both LAI and soil moisture to achieve high-precision yield estimation in the rain-fed area.
