The backscatter coefficient (σ°) derived from active C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from MRS mode RISAT-1 satellite data was used, averaged for 3 x 3 pixel windows and used to estimate transplanting date and crop yield. The backscatter showed good relation with observed field yield obtained through study. The coefficient of determination (R²) observed for the different model estimates based on RS data were 0.65, 0.90 and 0.45 for crop yield, transplanting date and rice dry biomass, respectively. It indicates that RS technology can estimate the yields at field level with certain accuracy. It was also observed that the number of sites (i.e. 30) were not sufficient to estimate yields of district, suggesting RS based sampling farm with larger sampling size to be included as future strategy.
