Study on paddy phenomics ecosystem and yield estimation using space-borne multi sensor remote sensing data

MAHESH PALAKURU and KIRAN YARRAKULA

In the present study three phenological stages of rice namely transplanting stage, heading stage and harvesting stages were derived from MODIS EVI data. SMAP L-band was used to identify the puddling field. The performance of the estimated phenological stages from MODIS EVI and SMAP were evaluated with field data and root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated. The rice yield estimation was also performed by application of second order polynomial method. The performance of the polynomial model showed good results with the coefficient of determination of 0.74.
