Thus pre-harvest forecasting of production is required when crop is still standing in the field. An efficient forecasting is thus a pre-requisite for food supply information system at district and state level. The final crop production estimates, though based on objective crop-cutting experiments, are of limited utility as these become available much later after the crop harvest. In view of this, there is a need for developing an objective methodology for pre-harvest forecasting of crop yield...
