Abstract

The study was conducted to propose and validate a methodology for potato acreage estimation in northern IndoGangetic plains of India using digital remote sensing data. Multi-date and multi-satellite moderate resolution (188 m) data of WiFS sensor onboard IRS IC, IRS 10 and IRS P3 satellites were used as main data. The results showed that it was possible to use complete enumeration approach using moderate resolution WiFS data to estimate the potato acreage in Punjab and Haryana in north-west Indo-Gaagetic plains. In the states of Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, which extend partly from western IndoGangetic plains to eastern Indo-Gangetic plains, almost 50% of the potato acreage is in 4 clusters. Complete enumeration of these clusters and its extrapolation to the whole state gave accurate results. The results also suggested that it might not be advisable to use moderate-resolution WiFS data for Bihar where the potato fields were small, scattered, and also grown as intercrop.
