ISPRS Archives XXXVIII-8/W3 Workshop Proceedings: Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture 326 MAPPING SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF CROPPING PRACTICES USING TIME SERIES OF REMOTELY SENSED DATA

Understanding and interpreting the temporal variations of the vegetation growth can provide valuable information on its dynamics and in case of crops provide an estimate of the phenological milestones that can help describe the crop. The focus of this work is to use the phenological parameters derived from MODIS EVI time series composite data to map the variability in cropping practices. These maps christened as variability maps, map the cropping practices including the length of growing period (LGP) spatially over a given geographic region. The phenological parameters obtained were also analyzed to identify crop pixels which showed cropping in more than one season. This information was extrapolated to find areas under irrigation in the study area. * [email protected]
