GI3010 REMOTE SENSING AND GIS FOR AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY 3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVES:
This course enables the students to understand and apply remote sensing and GIS
techniques in various fields of agriculture, soil, land and forest resources.
UNIT I CROPS 9
Introduction – leaf optical properties – identification of crops and crop inventorying – crop
acreage estimation – vegetation indices – yield estimation – crop production forecasting
through digital analysis – microwave and hyper spectral sensing for crop inventory – crop
monitoring and condition assessment in command areas – case studies.
UNIT II SOILS 9
Introduction – soil survey, types of soil surveys – soil genesis and soil classification – soil
taxonomy – soil reflectance properties – soil mapping using remote sensing – problem
soils – saline, alkali soil characteristics – mapping of saline alkaline soils – soil erosion and
sedimentation – assessment of soil erosion – estimation of reservoir capacity.
UNIT III LAND EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT 9
Introduction – land use / land cover definition – land use / land cover classification –
concepts and approaches of land evaluation – parametric methods – change
detection in land uses – decision support system for land use planning – optimum land
use planning for sustainable agriculture.
UNIT IV DAMAGE ASSESSMENT 9
Introduction – damage by pests and diseases – crop loss assessment by floods – flood
hazard zone mapping – remote sensing capabilities and contributions for drought
management – land degradation due to water logging and salinity – crop stress –
reflectance properties of stressed crops – identification of crop stress.
UNIT V FORESTRY 9
Introduction – forest taxonomy – inventory of forests – forest type and density
mapping – biomass assessment – timber volume estimation – factors for forest
degradation – mapping degraded forests – deforestation and aforestation – forest fire
mapping and damage assessment – sustainable development of forests.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
