Space technology support for development of agriculture in the North Eastern Region of India – scope and challenges
The North Eastern Region of India (NER) has tremendous scope for accelerating its growth in agriculture and allied areas through advanced data acquisition, interpretation and dissemination methods with geospatial technology. For several thematic applications, geospatial tools and techniques are being used to provide synoptic, cost-efficient and timely information for effective crop planning and monitoring in the region. A review of space applications in agriculture, horticulture, sericulture, land-use suitability, shifting cultivation, groundwater pro-specting, soil resources management, etc. has been made, highlighting the scope and limitation of using these advanced technologies. Satellite remote sensing has several limitations in NER, viz. small and fragmented farmlands, persistent clouds during monsoon, mixed farming, steep hills, etc. Considering these facts, unmanned aerial vehi-cles (UAVs) are used as an alternative for satellite remote sensing applications in agriculture. The increased availability of very high resolution satellite and UAV data will offer opportunities for innovative solutions to fulfil specific user needs of agriculture and allied sectors in NER.
期刊介绍:
Current Science, published every fortnight by the Association, in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences, is the leading interdisciplinary science journal from India. It was started in 1932 by the then stalwarts of Indian science such as CV Raman, Birbal Sahni, Meghnad Saha, Martin Foster and S.S. Bhatnagar. In 2011, the journal completed one hundred volumes. The journal is intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activities. Besides full length research articles and shorter research communications, the journal publishes review articles, scientific correspondence and commentaries, news and views, comments on recently published research papers, opinions on scientific activity, articles on universities, Indian laboratories and institutions, interviews with scientists, personal information, book reviews, etc. It is also a forum to discuss issues and problems faced by science and scientists and an effective medium of interaction among scientists in the country and abroad. Current Science is read by a large community of scientists and the circulation has been continuously going up.
Current Science publishes special sections on diverse and topical themes of interest and this has served as a platform for the scientific fraternity to get their work acknowledged and highlighted. Some of the special sections that have been well received in the recent past include remote sensing, waves and symmetry, seismology in India, nanomaterials, AIDS, Alzheimer''s disease, molecular biology of ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Indian monsoon, water, transport, and mountain weather forecasting in India, to name a few. Contributions to these special issues ‘which receive widespread attention’ are from leading scientists in India and abroad.
