Volume : III, Issue : III, April - 2013 ASSESSMENT OF POMEGRANATE ORCHARD USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TECHNIQUES FOR THE SOLAPUR, MAHARASHTRA ANIL S.YEDAGE , R.S.GAVALI AND ASHAVINI SURVANSHI Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Horticultural crops play an important role in economic development of semi-arid regions. Among horticulture crops which are xeromesophytes such as pomegranate, not only require less water but also grows well on barren land. In India, 70% of pomegranate production comes from the orchard in Maharashtra state. In Maharashtra state, Solapur is one of leading producer in pomegranate. Remote sensing and GIS has become the most important technique for crop monitoring, inventory and production assessment. Present study deals with the identification and assessment of pomegranate cultivation area of using IRS P6 and LANDSAT-7 data. Various digital classification algorithms were used like supervised MXL, Unsupervised ISODATA, sub pixel based. Supervised classification was found to be the best, because of accuracy (82.44 %) as compared to other classification techniques. On the basis of spectral response it was clearly distinguished from the other crops. To generate the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), 0.3 NDVI value was found to indicate the pomegranate orchards and also the Bhatia crop concentration index showed that the western part of the district has the maximum concentration.
