Predicting Barley Harvest Time in Dryland Conditions Using Satellite Images

Barley has an important role in livestock feed. Therefore, accurate estimation of harvesting time is necessary to minimize the loss barley farming. The aim this study determine harvest using satellite images accurately. Field data were sampled from farms Dezaj region west Iran. In addition, remote sensing technique was applied during growing season 2019 Landsat 8 images. vegetation indexes used as input prediction model study. results showed that imaging enough potential predict R-squared and RMSE values best-structured stepwise regression 0.791 well, 1.34 respectively. This method can be beneficially employed by farm managers have most appropriate able manage process, which challenge for them.
