Data Collection
For Crops
Tips For Data Collection
• As many samples as possible

• As much (spatially) distributed as possible- maximum area under crop
• Samples covering all growth stages
• Samples from each and every class present in the region of interest.
For example-
If Rice is major crop widely cultivated over the particular region, then maximum samples of rice
should be collected followed by other crops in the region.
• data should be collected during the growing period (i.e. when the crop can be seen already on the
ground).
How to Mark Plots
• Only one type of crop in polygon, if possible in the same growing stage
How to Mark Plots
• No buildings/houses/roads/water/field boundary inside polygon
How to Mark Plots
• Polygon does not need to match the field boundary, can be smaller (even just marking the middle of the
field in extreme cases)
How to Mark Plots
• Polygons of the plots should not intersect or overlap with other plots (Cultivated/ Fallow/ Barren)
Data Collection
Fallow land
Identification of Fallow Land
• The land is left fallow or uncultivated for certain period of time. This is to facilitate the soil to gain
back or replenish itself the lost nutrients. The land that is ploughed and tilled but left unseeded
during a growing season.

especially one used for grazing. It may consist of scattered grasses, wild grasses or some trees.

several locations of grassland.

Remember….
• Crop identification should be correct.

• Overlapping and intersections while marking plots should be avoided.
• Too small water bodies (wells, bore wells, small ponds) should be avoided.
• Sample targets would be given according to requirements.
