Abstract

The present paper describes the remote sensing-based acreage estimation of rapeseed-mustard crop in Mehsana and Banaskantha districts of Gujarat, using four-band data and Maximum Likelihood classification. IRS LISS-II data of November 25, 1989 has been used to estimate the acreage of rapeseed-mustard. It is found that the data of November 25 is useful in discriminating rapeseedmustard from other rabi crops. Talukawise acreage estimation has also been done for three talukas of Mehsana and two talukas of Banaskantha district.
