Evaluation of weather parameter-based pre-harvest yield forecast models for wheat crop: a case study in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.

Wheat is the important food grain and is cultivated in many Indian states: Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, which contributes to major crop production in India. In this study, popular statistical approach multiple linear regression (MLR) and time series approaches Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) and ARIMAX models were envisaged for wheat yield forecast using weather parameters for a case study area, i.e.

Vegetation health conditions assessment and mapping using AVIRIS-NG hyperspectral and field spectroscopy data for -environmental impact assessment in coal mining sites.

This paper focuses on vegetation health conditions (VHC) assessment and mapping using high resolution airborne hyperspectral AVIRIS-NG imagery and validated with field spectroscopy-based vegetation spectral data. It also quantified the effect of mining on vegetation health for geo-environmental impact assessment at a fine level scale. In this study, we have developed and modified vegetation indices (VIs) based model for VHC assessment and mapping in coal mining sites.
