Characterization of the main chickpea cropping systems in India using a yield gap analysis approach
Chickpea is an important livelihood option and nutritious food source for many subsistence farming communities in the developing world. Although India is the biggest chickpea producing nation, the demands of its growing ...
Monitoring Changes in the Cultivation of Pigeonpea and Groundnut in Malawi Using Time Series Satellite Imagery for Sustainable Food Systems
Malawi, in south-eastern Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. Food security in the country hinges on rainfed systems in which maize and sorghum are staple cereals and groundnut and pigeonpea are now major ...
Assessment of spatio-temporal vegetation dynamics in tropical arid ecosystem of India using MODIS time-series vegetation indices
In the present study, we analyzed spatio-temporal vegetation dynamics to identify and delineate the vegetation stress zones in tropical arid ecosystem of Anantapuramu district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using Normalized ...
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. ...
Mapping Direct Seeded Rice in Raichur District of Karnataka, India
Across South Asia, the cost of rice cultivation has increased
due to labor shortage. Direct seeding of rice is widely promoted
in order to reduce labor demand during crop establishment
stage, and to benefit poor farmers. ...
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
coordinates ...
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, ...
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 ...
Agronomic management options for sustaining chickpea yield under climate change scenario
The impact of future climate change on the chickpea productivity was studied using the sequence
analysis tool of DSSAT V 4.5 to simulate fallow-chickpea rotation at four locations viz Anantapur, Kurnool,
Kadapa and Prakasam ...
