Salinity stress detection in rice crops using time series MODIS VI data

Soil salinity is one of the abiotic stresses that constrains rice crop growth in the extensive coastal regions of India. Monitoring soil condition on such a large scale is time-consuming and expensive and alternative approaches have been proposed. Crop condition can be used as a reference to detect salinity-affected soils in rice crops instead of direct detection of soil condition. Vegetation indices derived from high temporal resolution...
