Abstract
This paper summarizes the procedures adopted and results obtained since 1985–86 for wheat inventory for Haryana using satellite digital data (MSS: 1985–86 to 1987–88, LISS-I: 1988–89 onwards). The approach followed is based on sample segments (10 × 10 km during 1985–86 to 1988–89, 7.5 × 7.5 km during 1989–90) and 10 percent sampling fraction and stratified sample design. There has been consistent improvement in accuracy over the years as judged from lower biases when compared with Bureau of Economics and Statistics (BES) acreage estimates and higher precision. In 1989–90, the state-level estimate achieved an accuracy goal of 90 percent at 90 percent confidence interval. A number of studies which have been carried out to study effect of choice of sensor, acquisition date, stratification approach, classification procedure on wheat inventory are also mentioned.
