• Developed methodology for crop inventory using multi-temporal Remote sensing data for various crops grown in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh States.
ii) Sustainable Irrigation and Agricultural System Studies:
• Impact of canal irrigation on agricultural system, cropping intensity, crop rotations, and improvements in crop productivity were monitored in canal command areas using multi-temporal Remote Sensing data.
• Crop suitability for irrigated agricultural system in the canal command areas were
1 studied using various crop, soil and drainage characteristics along with multi-temporal Remote Sensing data.
iii) Environment and ecological Studies:
• Developed methodology for mapping of Land-degradation with special reference to water-logging and salinity in canal command areas of Gujarat State.
• Ecological studies were carried out various command areas using multi-temporal Remote Sensing data. The impact of canal irrigation on water-logging and salinity ingress in the fertile agricultural land were monitored.
iv) Agricultural Environmental Problems:
• A study on early assessment of drought and vegetation water stress was carried out using multi-temporal Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) indices during growth cycle of Wheat crop. The results indicate that combined information from near and shortwave infrared wavelengths is useful as an indicator of canopy water stress in rainfed agriculture. The progression of drought condition due to inadequate rainfall during the crop season can be monitored using NDWI values effectively which can help the government organizations to initiate solutions for disaster management.
