    Application of Remote Sensing in Agricultural Research and Regional Productivity Assessment

    Uploaded by

    Saurabh Bhise
    1. Remote sensing was used to analyze wheat planting dates, yields, and land cover in Mexico between 1999-2003. 2. Analysis found that delays in planting beyond the recommended period of November 15th to December 15th resulted in yield reductions of up to 20% and estimated revenue losses of over $100,000 USD. 3. Summer weeds were found to reduce subsequent wheat yields by 5-10% compared to bare soil or cropped areas. Modeling estimated potential gains of 4-5% and $100,000 from improved summer weed management.
