Remote Sensing • acquisition of information of an object or a process, without
physical contact Remote Sensing data sources Satellite images Aerial photographs

Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
A system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to locations
Can relate different information in a spatial context

Geo-Informatics and agriculture
• Remote Sensing, GIS and allied disciplines can be used in– Assessment of crop area extent– Management of water resources– Identification of pest attacks and diseases– Yield assessment studies– Land suitability assessment for agriculture– Disaster management– Precision agriculture

Assessment of crop area extent
• Assessment of crop area extent is useful in yield forecasting, water and other input management
• Satellite images can be used to identify the crops using– Visual interpretation – Digital image interpretation – Expert classification techniques – knowledge based
classifier

Paddy area extracted by visual interpretation of IRS LISS II images
Paddy area extracted by supervised classification of IRS LISS III image
Paddy area extracted by supervised classification of ASTER image
Use of suitable satellite sensor in identification of crop areas is important to improve the accuracy of the output

Management of water resources
• Identification and mapping of surface waterInfrared satellite images – Identification of surface water bodies
Inventory of water bodies, reservoir capacity calculation, identifying seasonal fluctuations of water levels

Water resources management with RS and GIS
• Irrigated lands assessment and inventory
• Calculation of water requirement of crops and subsequent water budgeting for command areas
• Assessment of water availability in rivers and reservoirs for optimal management to meet irrigation demand
• Based on empirical relations with surface area, shoreline length and volume or based on topographic features - Determine volume of water stored and change in the level with time

Water resources management with RS and GIS
- Delineation of water logged /saline areas
- Identification of aquatic vegetation associated with water logging
- Eutrophication and pollution monitoring

Assessment of crop yield and yield forecasting
Mostly based on vegetation indices such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) - By developing relationships between yield & other crop parameters eg: canopy cover biomass content

Land suitability assessment for agriculture
• Land suitability for a given crop is based on – Soil characteristics– Existing land use– Climatic factors such as rainfall and temperature– Topography– Availability of transportation facilities and agricultural
labour– Availability of water sources for irrigation
