Yield Estimation of Major Oil Seeds using Remote Sensing and GIS technique at Lalgola block in Murshidabad, West Bengal

Abstract

In many countries, the estimation of crop yields is based on the conventional techniques for collecting data for the crop based on ground-based field inspection and reporting. These national reports are often prone to major errors due to subjective, cost-effective, time-saving, and incomplete ground monitoring, leading to crop yield assessments and crop field estimates (Reynolds et al. 2000), to arrive at data too late to take appropriate steps to avoid food shortages in most countries
