Innovation in Agricultural Developments in Haryana State Using GIS and Remote Sensing Technology
Abstract
Climate, soil and topography differences in various regions are especially susceptible to agricultural production systems. Both these considerations should be evaluated on a spatio-temporal basis for sustainable agricultural management. For measurement and control, specialised methods such as remote sensing, the global positioning system and the geographical information system may be useful. Remote sensing and GIS are essential methods for solving these problems with a wide variety of applications. These technologies have many agriculture applications, including crop discrimination, crop growth tracking/stress identification, crop inventory, soil moisture estimate, crop evapotranspiration measurement, crop acreage estimate and crop yield prediction for site-specific management/precision agriculture. Processors, administrators and policy planners will benefit significantly from operational decisions on food protection, import/export and economic effects on timely and accurate details on crop property, growth conditions and yield forecasts. Such knowledge may be rendered accessible on a geographic level utilising remote sensing and GIS techniques. Remote sensing and GIS may also be used very successfully in the analysis of land use/lands cover and disruption related to drought, floods and other adverse weather events In the present study an effort was made to review, interpret and evaluate the latest details involving the use of remote monitoring techniques, plant condition assessments and yield estimates. Haryana is regarded as India's 'bread box.' The state has numerous agro-ecological and planting trends. Corn, wheat, sugar cane, cotton, olive seeds, perl millet, gramme, and barley are the state's major agricultural crops. In India, more than 60 percent of Basmati Rice is exported from Haryana. Over the years, Haryana has adopted progressive policies to enhance agricultural productivity by increased spending, encouraging research and development systems, the public distribution system, development of irrigation, land procurement policies, credit and electricity subsidies, infrastructures such as road, market, generation and supply
