Requirements ChallengesMid Season yield assessment (check if yield is likely to be less than 50%)

No uniform established methodology

If sown area is < 25% of the normal;

Easier to do; but problems in flood

CCEs at GP level 250 audits per district in 15 days???

In-Season Crop Damage/Loss Yield EstimationDividing crop period into different vegetative and reproductive stages.

Vegetative stages – counted as consecutive unfolded leaves, until the reproductive parts are visible on the plants.Reproductive stages – as soon as the flowers/tuber/ear head are visible until all the kernels/seed/tuber are physiologically mature.

Crop damage based on parts of the crop which is damaged.

Crop Stand damage – Count or percentage of crop stand area with no living axils/buds.

In-Season Crop Damage/Loss Yield Estimation

Crop damage based on parts of the crop which is damaged.

Crop stem damage – Count and percentage of crop stem snapped off with physiologically unable to produce yield or inactive.Branch damage – Position and percentage of branches snapped off or damaged.Leaf damage - Count and percentage of leaves are snapped off, shredded, de- colourized and physiologically inactive that wilts and dies.Ear/Pod/Head/Boll damage – Count and percentage of yield part knocked off/chaffed/shriveled/ broken or disease/pest infected.

Methodology

Monitor Yields through Satellite images (LISS4, LANDSA, SAR).

We use LANDSAT images of resolution 30m*30m.

In case, of more detailed analysis, will use LISS4 images of 5m*5m resolution.

Where visibility is affected due to clouds, Microwave SAR data can be used.

Methodology

Stasny-Goel method (Bayesian method)

Bayesian yield estimation algorithm with a simple spatial component based on the crop yields (close geographic proximity tend to be more similar than those further apart).

Griffith method (AR model)

Box-Cox and Box-Tidwell transformations are employed in conjunction with an autoregressive specification so as to optimize agreement with model assumptions.

Standard ratio estimation Multi-Phase stratified sampling is used to generate ratio estimates that are weighted by the sampling rate.

Econometric methodology Use of Econometric principles and model building by considering endogenous and exogenous variables such as prices of both product and inputs, farmer planting decision and consumer preferences, etc..

Agro-Met methodology These model are crop growth stimulation model which is a function of complex interaction of different physiological processes with the environment, biotic and a biotic factors.

Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing Methodology

These model use RS and GIS information for quick assessment based on multispectral, large area. Best for taking critical decision on procurement, transportation, storage and trade.

Integrated Yield Estimation Model

Crop yield can be estimated by adopting advance technologies such as remote sensing imagery(RS), Geographical Information system (GIS), etc. and appropriate methodologies such asMultivariate regression.

Crop models with other important inputs from weather data, land based observations and economic parameters that influence the farmer’s decision on cultivating particular crop.

A general integrated yield estimation model for estimating crop yield.Y = f (RD, RFs, W, S, Pt, I, G)

Y = Yield of the crop.RD = Remote sensing imagery data (NDVI, SAR, IRS-WiFS, etc.)RFs = Rainfall received during sowing and Vegetative stage.W = other important weather parameters.Pt = Previous year yield of the crop.S = Soil type and its ParametersI = Irrigated area availability.G = Ground truth data by using CCE (crop cutting experiment) approach.
