HORTICULTURE CROPS ASSESSMENTHorticulture includes fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers and medicinal &
aromatic plants. Horticulture sector is a major driver for the growth of
Indian agriculture. India is the second largest producer of fruits and
vegetables in the world. The total area occupied by horticultural crops in
India was 23.69 Mha and total production was 268.8 MT in 2012-13.
Indian Satellite sensors such as
AWiFS, LISS-III/IV are being
used for inventory of fruits,
vegetables, plantation crops,
crop health, disease mapping,
yield modeling and year to
year changes, site suitability
and post-harvest studies.
· Operational production forecasts at national level for winter potato & onion (late kharif, rabi)
· Inventory of grapes, mango, banana, apple, chilli and arecanut
· Techniques development under Technology mission on horticulture in northern region including Sikkim
· Site suitability studies for horticulture crop intensification
Resourcesat LISS-IV (27-03-2013) + Cartosat-1 merged data showing horticulture plantations
Under the Technology Mission on Integrated Development of Horticulture in NE States (including Sikkim), mapping of current “Jhum” and characterisation, identification of areas suitable for a particular fruit and prioritisation for phase-wise implementation was carried out.
