Diagnosis: definitive diagnosis of the evolution of rain-fed crops and grasslands for the 2009 marketing year
Description
The diagnostic raster data set of the Study of Monitoring the Annual Evolution of Crops and Harvests is a definitive diagnosis map, by agricultural region, of the evolution of rainfed crops and pastures in the 2009 campaign.
To obtain these results, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment (MAGRMA) has a system for monitoring the evolution of rainfed crops and grasslands, based mainly on the information provided by vegetation indices (NDVI) generated with daily satellite images NOAA-AVHRR. This system has been in operation since 1993, paying particular attention to the detection and localization of drought situations throughout the successive agricultural years, in order to provide for the necessary measures to be taken to mitigate its effects. The system is in operation between the months of January and June, the period in which the studied crops are developed.
The study is carried out in the autonomous communities of Navarra, Aragón, Cataluña, Castilla y León, La Rioja, Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Comunidad Valenciana, Andalucía, Región Murciana, Extremadura and Baleares, as they comprise almost all rainfed crops and grasslands.
