Resumen

La estimación tradicional del rendimiento en girasol forrajero (Helianthus annuus L., var. Girafor) es costosa y destructiva. Por ello, se evaluó la relación de los índices de vegetación (NDVI, NDRE) y valores SPAD con la biomasa en el Valle del Yaqui, Sonora, México, durante el ciclo otoño-invierno 2024-2025. Se emplearon sensores Greenseeker® (Trimble) y SPAD-502Plus (Minolta®), y un CMOS montado en VANT DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise®, con muestreos a los 60 y 86 días después de la siembra (DDS). El NDVI obtenido con GreenSeeker a los 60 DDS mostró la correlación más alta y significativa con el rendimiento (r = 0.465; p < 0.05), el NDRE fue significativo a los 86 DDS (r = 0.421; p < 0.05). El SPAD no se asoció significativamente con el rendimiento. Se concluye que NDVI (en etapas tempranas) y NDRE (en etapas avanzadas) son útiles para predecir biomasa forrajera en girasol en zonas áridas.
