Conformity Analysis of Cotton Crop using Remote Sensing and GIS  N. Ramarao Research scholar,Geomatics section,Dept. of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee,Roorkee, Uttaranchal, India-247667 E-mail: nrraodce@iitr.ernet.in One of the most important and urgent problems in India is to improve agricultural land management and cropping patterns to develop regional strategies and programmes aimed at increasing the agricultural production together with efficient use of land resources. The information on the spatial distribution and suitability of various types of soils to various types of crops is crucial for planners and agricultural scientists to initiate and encourage farmers to practice cropping systems based on soil potential to various crop categories. In this study the spatial distribution of cotton crop in relation to its suitability based on soil characteristics have been evaluated using RS&GIS techniques for Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The study had clearly brought out the spatial distribution of cotton crop as derived from satellite data in conjunction with the soil information as derived from GIS techniques is helpful in crop Management options for intensification or diversification. |
