摘要

This study presents a semi-physical remote sensing approach for wheat yield estimation across Ahmedabad district, India, during the 2020–2021 Rabi season. Sentinel-2A-derived fAPAR and Land Surface Water Index (LSWI) were integrated with cumulative PAR from INSAT-3D to estimate biomass using a Radiation Use Efficiency (RUE) model. Grain yield was derived using a Harvest Index (HI) averaged from 60 crop cutting experiments. An LSWI-based scalar accounted for spatial water stress. Yield maps generated for the entire district were validated using observed data from 25 gram panchayats. The model achieved a strong correlation (R² = 0.719) and an RMSE of 335.35 kg/ha. Higher yields were observed in regions with lower moisture stress. The results demonstrate that this approach offers an accurate, scalable, and cost-effective solution for crop yield monitoring in data-limited environments, supporting precision agriculture and regional food security planning.
