Abstract
The integration of remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) technology is an optimal method for maize yield estimation, because it needs the support of various data including remote sensing information and others. This paper introduces the objective, components, data acquisition and implementing way of maize yield estimation information system, and uses it in the study on maize acreage calculation, growth vigour monitoring, regional soil moisture content assessment and final yield forecast.
