Fibre Crop Information System
Cotton and jute are most important fibre crops of our country. A Fibre Crop Information System is developed using geo-spatial technologies. This will aid in geneartion of spatial fibre crop database and ollection of field level observations, centralized monitoring and assessment of cotton and jute crop condition.
Tea Area Development & Management
Tea Board of India require the inventory of tea garden including small growers, monitoring of uprooted and replanted areas. Collaborative study has been conducted by NRSC to support the Tea Board, Tea Research Associations, Tea Gardens and Tea Industries with the adoption of geospatial technologies for better coordination, garden management and informed decision making
Carbon in Studies in Agro - Climatic Zones
Quantitative assessment of carbon/moisture fluxes and energy balance components over the different agro ecosystems is carried out with intensive collection of data related to carbon and moisture dynamics on top of the canopy and relevant bio-meteorological parameters, biophyscal parameters of the crops using eddy covariance flux towers. Quantitative assessment of the carbon and moisture fluxes over the selected (rice, pulse, cotton, jute) agro-ecosystem, assessment of the net ecosystem carbon balance and its causative factors, upscaling the carbon and water/energy fluxes to regional scale using remotely sensed proxies.
