Mapping rice-fallow cropland areas for shortseason grain legumes intensification in South Asia using MODIS 250 m time-series data
The goal of this study was to map rainfed and irrigated rice-fallow cropland
areas across South Asia, using MODIS 250 m time-series data and identify
where the farming system may be intensified by the inclusion of a ...
Selection of Hyperspectral Narrowbands (HNBs) and Composition of Hyperspectral Twoband Vegetation Indices (HVIs) for Biophysical Characterization and Discrimination of Crop Types Using Field Re ectance and Hyperion/EO-1 Data
The overarching goal of this study was to establish
optimal hyperspectral vegetation indices (HVIs) and hyperspectral
narrowbands (HNBs) that best characterize, classify, model,
and map the world’s main agricultural crops. ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic

Crop Dominance Mapping with IRS-P6 and MODIS 250-m Time Series Data
This paper describes an approach to accurately separate out and quantify crop dominance areas in the major command area in the Krishna River Basin. Classification was performed using IRS-P6 (Indian Remote Sensing Satellite, ...
Drivers and major changes in agricultural production systems in drylands of South Asia: assessing implications for key environmental indicators and research needs
The South Asian dryland (arid and semiarid)
ecosystems have been exhibiting considerable agricultural production system changes. In
fact, today, there are scientific consensus that this nature of agricultural production ...
Fostering institutions for water conservation and management in Andhra Pradesh, India
Progress Report. Rainfed agriculture is a predominant land use pattern in the semi-arid dryland regions which is particularly vulnerable to climatic and socio-economic stresses. As a result of these stresses, degradation ...
Mapping Asian Cropping Intensity With MODIS
Agricultural systems are geographically extensive,
have profound significance to society, and affect regional energy,
climate, and water cycles. Since most suitable lands worldwide
have been cultivated, there is a growing ...
Satellite imagery and household survey for tracking chickpea adoption in Andhra Pradesh, India
The objective of this study was to map the temporal changes in
chickpea cropped area over the last decade in Andhra Pradesh
using remote-sensing imagery. Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data composited ...
