(Refer Clause 1.5.2)
Crop Model Matrix -1 (CMM – 1)

A. List of States where YES-TECH will be implemented in Phase 1
Implementation of yield models under CMM-1 covering paddy and wheat crops is done in a phased
manner considering the readiness of states based on technical infrastructure availability, access to
expertise, data related limited limitations, level of acceptance to technology interventions etc.
Therefore, it is proposed to cover the following states under CMM-1, from the ensuing kharif season
(2023).
1. Andhra Pradesh – Paddy
2. Assam – Paddy
3. Haryana – Paddy and wheat
4. Karnataka - Paddy
5. Madhya Pradesh – Paddy and wheat
6. Maharashtra – Paddy and Wheat
7. Odisha – Paddy
8. Rajasthan – Wheat
9. Tamil Nadu - Paddy
B. General SOP
The framework of model implementation is presented in Fig 2. Satellite-based crop mapping, satellite
and weather data analysis for generating crop health indicators, field data collection and analysis,
yield modelling, and insurance loss assessment are important tasks in this framework.

1. Semi Physical Approach

The methodology is based on the concept that the biomass produced by a crop is a function of the
amount of photo synthetically active radiation (PAR) absorbed, which in turn depends on incoming
radiation and the crop's PAR interception capacity. Biomass is a function of the total photo
synthetically active radiation (PAR) and the ability of the plant to absorb (fAPAR) this radiation and to
convert this radiation to dry matter (RUE) and yield is a function of net dry matter and the harvest
index (HI) of the crop. Water Scalar derived from satellite images will be used as a limiting factor of
crop yield. Major factors of crop growth (i.e.) the radiation and the ability of the crop to convert the
absorbed radiation into dry matter) are derived and used for estimating the yield. Model framework
(ow chart) is furnished in Fig.3 below:

1.1 Methodology
The generation of an accurate crop map for the current and historical years is the first important
step in all the five approaches. Crop layers can be generated using SAR and Optical medium
resolution (5-30 m) satellite data. The standard widely adopted methodology must be followed for
crop mapping.
The classification procedure has to be performed for each district separately, and the outputs are to
be verified extensively by superimposing on cloud-free optical data of appropriate months when the
crop was at maximum vegetative phase. Field data points are used to check the classification
performance. It is to be ensured that commission errors are <10% and omission errors can be
accommodated up to 20%. By adopting this strategy on mapping error, the IU average crop health
indicators represent the crop pixels more closely.

1.2 Input data

Basic Input Data for Model development are Fraction of absorbed photo synthetically active radiation
(fAPAR), Photo synthetically active radiation (PAR), Radiation use efficiency (RUE), Water scalar, and
Harvest Index (HI) data will be used for yield estimation. Details of data product, satellite, Source, and

wheat crop in 12 districts during Rabi 2023-24 season and paddy crop in 5 Clusters during Rabi
2023-24 season for implementation of YES-TECH.
Further Bidder-1 has quoted average rate of Rs. 800/- per Clusters for paddy and wheat crop in both
Kharif and Rabi seasons. Therefore, total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for paddy crop in Kharif 2023
will be 15 x 800 = Rs. 12,000/-, total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for wheat crop in Rabi 2023-24 will
be 12 x 800 = Rs. 9,600/- and total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for paddy crop in Rabi 2023-24 will be
5 x 800 = Rs. 4,000/-.
Accordingly, similar calculation can be done for remaining seasons of the tender cycle and Bidder-1
will arrive at cumulative total of Rs. 94,400/- for six seasons for CMM-1.

Example:
For crops other than CMM-1, State Government (Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) has sought
pricing for Soybean and Cotton crop in 15 and 12 Clusters respectively, during Kharif 2023 season
and Gram and Mustard crops in 5 and 20 districts respectively, during Rabi 2023-24 season for
implementation of YES-TECH.
Further Bidder-1 has quoted rate of Rs. 800/- per Cluster for all the crops in both Kharif and Rabi
seasons. Therefore, total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for Soybean crop in Kharif 2023 will be 15 x 800
= Rs. 12,000/-, total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for Cotton crop in Kharif 2023 will be 12 x 800 = Rs.
9,600/-, total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for Gram crop in Rabi 2023-24 will be 5 x 800 = Rs. 4,000/-
and total amount quoted by Bidder-1 for Mustard crop in Rabi 2023-24 will be 20 x 800 = Rs.
16,000/-.
Accordingly, similar calculation can be done for remaining seasons of the tender cycle and Bidder-1
will arrive at cumulative total of Rs. 1,28,800/- for six seasons for crops other than CMM-1.
Similar calculations can be done for the remaining bidders and the final rate for the selection of L1
bidder can be arrived as illustrated in the tables below (Table 5 to Table 9).

12.1. For implementation of subsequent CMM crops between the tender cycle for the years
2023-24 to 2025-26, the selected TIP for CMM-1 will also continue to work as TIP for
subsequent CMM crops.
12.2. The size and the grouping of the cluster shall conform with the PMFBY district clustering
as notified by the respective States/UTs.
12.3. Reference Crop: Crop having highest area in the /cluster/state (as the case may be), in
the previous year, in CMM-1 or subsequent CMMs will be considered as reference crop for
calculating the cost for crops notified under subsequent CMMs.
12.4. The cost for subsequent CMM will be discovered by taking the cost per unit area, of the
reference crop in the relevant clusters.
12.5. In case of implementation of subsequent CMM in a cluster where CMM-1 has not been
implemented, the rate for subsequent CMMs will be discovered through the cost per unit
area of the reference crop at state level.
12.6. For any change in crops or district, the TIP should duly be informed and the same shall be
binding on the TIP.
12.7. Payment shall be made as per the actual execution of work based on season wise rate

Example: In Rabi 2023-24 wheat and paddy crops covered under CMM-1. Previous year area of
Paddy (170 ha) is greater than area of wheat (130 ha). In this case paddy crop will be considered as
reference crop for Rabi 2023-24 season. Further, for discovering the cost of subsequent CMM crop i.e.
Gram, the cost will be calculated by L1 rate per cluster for Paddy Crop (800) divided by area of
reference crop (170) i.e. 800/170=4.70 Rs./hectare multiplied by area of subsequent crop Gram i.e.
80*4.70=376 Rs./cluster.
13. Payment Terms
The Department will release funds for implementing YES-TECH to TIP as per the Payment

From time to time, the Disclosing Party may disclose Confidential Information to the Receiving Party.
The Receiving Party will: (a) keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential by using a
reasonable degree of care, but not less than the degree of care used by it in safeguarding its own
