Abstract

Rice is the staple food for major population of India. Area and spatial distribution information of paddy rice are important for understanding of food security, water use, greenhouse gas emission, and disease transmission. Due to urbanization and drought during various times, rice cultivation is negatively affected in Karnataka. An algorithm based of paddy phenology is used to identify paddy fields and map the same. Landsat 8 data with high temporal resolution and geographic coverage is used for mapping. Envi along with idl 8.3 is used for data processing. The resultant paddy rice map well supports the statistical data. The resultant paddy rice map is expected to provide unprecedented details about the area and spatial distribution of paddy rice fields in Koppal, which will contribute to food security assessment, water resource management, estimation of greenhouse gas emissions, and disease control if this work is extended towards more scenes in a sub continental level.
