Cereal–legume forage mixtures provide sustainable agronomic and environmental benefits for arid Mediterranean agricultural systems, but their productivity is often limited by within-field soil spatial variability. Site specific management practices are required to address the yield gaps. This study aimed to identify management zones in a no-till Triticale–Avena–Pea mixture by integrating apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) and NDVI measurements. ECa was mapped using an EM38-MK2 sensor, while NDVI was derived from UAV and Sentinel-2 imagery at four key growth stages. Plant biomass data and soil samples were collected for evaluating and explaining the yield gaps. Using K-means clustering, three management zones were delineated using ECa and NDVI data. Results showed a yield gap of 46% in fresh biomass between high- and low-productivity zones, associated with strong gradients in soil organic matter and total nitrogen availability. The delineation of management zones enabled targeted agronomic interventions, such as adjusting seeding rates in the high-productivity area and prioritizing soil improvement strategies in the low-productivity zone, thereby enhancing input-use efficiency.
