Winter Crop Growth Monitoring using Multi-Temporal NDVI Profiles inKapadvanj Taluka, Gujarat State

In the present study on winter crop growth monitoring in different villages in Kapadvanj Taluka of Kheda district was carried out using multi-temporal Sentinel-2 multi-spectral data (spatial resolution 10-m). Multi-temporal Sentinel-2 data covering study area for the winter crop period from November-2018 to March-2019 was downloaded from https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/. The major objective of this study was to monitor site-specific crop growth in different villages of Kapadvanj Taluka by generating Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) profiles of major winter crops. The spectral behavior of wheat, potato, bajara and castor crops during active growth stages was studied and it was observed that the spectral response of wheat and potato crops have quite distinct spectral behavior. However, castor and bajara crops do not show distinct spectral behavior. In this study, from the NDVI profiles of different crops it was observed that very distinct growth stages like early growth stage to flag leaf emergence which correspondence to rising of NDVI, followed by flag leaf emergence to flowering and grain filling stages which corresponds to maximum NDVI and finally physiological maturity stages corresponding to declining of NDVI of all the winter crops.
