An often under-looked, but agronomically significant entity is soil moisture and how far it affects the crop growth, livestock and the country, it is one of the important components for the growth of the Crop. Knowledge of spatio-temporal variation of soil moisture is of utmost importance as it helps in understanding the health of...
As far as a traditional farmer for sowing crops he will fully rely on his previous experience. But in many cases, he can foresee certain natural elements well before time and use in his favor. Here at Satyukt, we make this possible by doing a combined analysis of NDVI (Vegetation Index) and SM (Soil...
Andhra Pradesh’s economy is mainly based on agriculture and livestock, hence it is imperative to have a keen eye on soil moisture. Satyukt Analytics Private Limited uses a very helpful algorithm to keep a check on soil moisture in real-time using MAPSM which helps track the soil conditions throughout the year. The image shows...
First published on September 11, 2018 The Godavari river flows through the states of Maharashtra (48.6%), Telangana (18.8%), Andhra Pradesh (4.5%), Chhattisgarh (10.9%), Madhya Pradesh (10.0%), Odisha (5.7%), Karnataka (1.4%) and Puducherry (Yanam) and joins Bay of Bengal. The Godavari basin receives its maximum rainfall during the Southwest monsoon.. The average soil moisture map...
Soil moisture, the water held within the soil pores in liquid or vapour phase is the major factor that supports plant growth. Plants can readily absorb water if the moisture content of the soil is optimum. Knowledge of spatiotemporal variation of soil moisture is of utmost importance as it helps in understanding the health...
Drought is a normal and recurrent condition of climate that occurs when the available soil moisture becomes insufficient to support plant growth. Droughts adversely affect the agricultural sector especially when they are prevailing for a longer duration. Agricultural droughts should be identified well before it’s occurrence to reduce its impact on the crop. Normalized...
Chattisgharh,” The rice bowl” of India mainly practices rain-fed agriculture( 72 per cent of agriculture ) and hence the need to monitor the agriculture stress induced by several factors, such as shortage of water, overuse of pesticides etc is of prime importance. Passive microwave sensors provide soil moisture globally at a coarser spatial resolution...
India has witnessed many natural disasters like floods, landslides, cyclones, forest fires, earthquakes, drought, etc. To comprehend risks due to such disasters, it is necessary to integrate satellite and field-based observations and to work towards risk reduction principles. Satellites provide synoptic observations of the natural disasters at regular intervals that helps in better gearing...
Soil can “remember” extreme climatic events long after the conditions responsible for the anomaly is forgotten by the atmosphere, is a key aspect of land-atmosphere interactions and has major implications for seasonal forecasting. The land-atmosphere interactions can be modeled and analyzed to predict climate or simulate water budget. After precipitation, a certain amount of...
Precipitations of any form (rainfall, melting snow etc) get stored in the soil due to the pores present in the soil and later contributes to the soil moisture. The temperature, soil characteristics, and more are the factors which help to determine the type of biome present and the suitability of land for growing crops....
