can NDVI of a certain region calculated from satellite image corellates with the crop yield?
As rice has highest vegitation land coverage in April and lowest at the time of transplanting. if I want to make a correlation od NDVi and rice yield, should I consider all the NDVI values of each month or an average value?
Kiprotich Kiptum Thank you very much, Sir. I got the answer. Thank you.
Yes, of course they are linked because NDVI measures greeness of growth. But the caveat is, of course, that rainfall is not the only predictor of yield, since that depends on so many other factors like timing of seed, quality of seed, ambient temperatures, management practices, crop pests and diseases, etc. So NDVI is one metric of average growth potential relative to 'the norm' for that time of year, rather than predictive of any particular crop yield.
Patrick Webb Thank you, respected professor. Now its clear to me what should I do for my study.
By the way, I have read some of your works and it's my pleasure to get a reply from you. Thanks to researchgate.
