        <dc:description>Anantapur is the driest district of Andhra Pradesh and hence, agriculture&#13;
conditions are very often precarious. Groundnut grows where other crops fail&#13;
and thus it is the predominant crop of Anantapur district. Groundnut is grown&#13;
in about 7.5 lakh ha in Anantapur district; however the average yields are low&#13;
af 500 kg ha-1. Among various available vegetation indices, normalised difference&#13;
vegetation index (ND VI) is widely used for all reasons, which is a single&#13;
numerical indicator of presence and condition of green vegetation. ND VI&#13;
mapping at a regional scale helps to assess the spatial changes in the vigour of&#13;
green vegetation and thus occurrence of any moisture stress. Climate tOQls&#13;
have a great role in understanding the crop performance and estimating the&#13;
yields. This study was taken up by using freely available MODIS data to&#13;
understand ND VI in terms of abiotic stresses over Anantapur district and&#13;
linking with the actual rainfall conditions, groundnut crop acreage and&#13;
production. Results indicate that low groundnut yields in general,could be&#13;
related to ND VI-based stress measurements and rainfall quantum and distribution in the area however, with a few exceptions. It is hoped that by&#13;
combining improved practices through IWM with climate-adapted crop&#13;
varieties, rainfed farmers of Anantapur district can sustain their crop production&#13;
under present climate variability and become resilient to future climate change</dc:description>
