Landholders have long used weather and climate information, based on experience and intuition, for planning and decision making on land or crop management. Over recent times, the availability of data bases of historical climatic information and the development of predictive tools ranging from correlation analysis to computer simulation models have made the climatic information useful to a much ...

Current corn and soybean productivity data is needed in Illinois for land-use planning, sustainable farm management, and accurate land appraisal. The out-of-date source of soil productivity data is Circular 1156 Soil Productivity in Illinois (Fehrenbacher et al., 1978, Soil productivity in Illinois. UIUC. College of Agriculture. COOP. EXT. SERV. Circular 1156). A new major analysis based on cur...

Since the computer power was restricted once, they needed special facility to analyze satellite data or they must do the photointerpretation. But by the downsizing of the computers, they can perform the analysis using their personal computer. But the residents in rural areas including farmers will not be familiar with such computer analysis. Therefore the author intends to revive the photograph...

The Annual Crop Planning (ACP) problem was a recently introduced problem in the literature. This study further expounds on this problem by presenting a new mathematical formulation, which is based on market economic factors. To determine solutions, a new local search metaheuristic algorithm is investigated which is called the enhanced Best Performance Algorithm (eBPA). eBPA's results are compar...

Rainfall is one of the most important climatic variables that determine spatial and temporal patterns climate variability a region, which provides useful information for planning agricultural production. For purpose crop planning, rainfall data two districts Tripura viz., Unakoti West aperiod 20 years (2001-2020) were collected used to analyze probability weekly rainfall. The incomplete Gamma d...

Remote sensing has the potential to provide estimates of important inputs for the land process models, for instance the land cover type, the soil moisture and the LAI. Such models can provide information that is crucial for a number of applications such as flood and drought prediction, crop irrigation scheduling, and meteorology. Also, land cover maps provide fundamental information to many asp...
