•Variations in moisture and temperature explained 86% of total yield variation.•Grain yield was significantly correlated with spectral reflectance indices.•Subpopulations showed differentiation for agronomic and remotely sensed traits.•Earliness didn’t show net yield advantage in Pacific Northwest d...
