Remote sensing allows monitoring heavy metal pollution in crops for agricultural production and food security. This paper presents an approach towavelet-fractal analysis for exploring a set of sensitive spectral parameters to monitor the heavy metal pollution levels in rice crops from hyperspectral reflectance data. Hyperspectral and biochemical data were collected from three study farms in Cha...

gilan province is among the most important regions of iran for rice production. the general aim of this research is to determine the best variety of rice for planting, so that the minimum level for farmer's expected living gross margin can be provided. on the other hand, determining the best variety with regard to the risk in price is another aim of this research. to this end two risk models ba...
