NDVI Images of 2014, 2015 for Haryana showing changes NDVI is an indicator of crop condition. Shows lower NDVI values in 2015 during similar period

Final Assessment based on NDVI Deviation and Rainfall

Wheat Production Estimates Acreage was estimated using Remote Sensing data Yield was estimated from a combination of Remote Sensing based models, agro-meteorological models and crop simulation model Then, a loss factor was determined by developing an empirical model between NDVI and crop yield (from CCE data) and yield loss per unit NDVI decrease (from 2014 to 2015) was computed. Accordingly estimated yield, at district level, was reduced.
