“…About 92% of the world's rice is produced and consumed in Asia. A major part of Asian rice grown under flooded irrigation and water is the main limiting factor for increased production of rice (Akinbile et al, 2011). The global need of rice has been forecasted to rise by 25% from 2001 to 2025 in order to cope with the increasing population (Maclean et al, 2002).…”

Rice is the most essential and nutritional staple food crop worldwide. There is a need for accurate and timely rice mapping and monitoring, which is a pre-requisite for crop management and food security. Recent studies have utilized Sentinel-1 data for mapping and monitoring ricegrowing areas. The present study was carried out in the Google Earth Engine (GEE), where the Sentinel-1data were used for monitoring the rice-growing area over Kulithalai taluk of Karur district, located along the Cauvery delta region. Normally, the production of rice in the study area starts in the late Samba Season where the long duration variety Cr1009 (130 days) is extensively grown. The results exhibit low backscattering values during the transplanting stage of VV and VH polarization (−15.19 db and −24 db), whereas maximum backscattering is experienced at the peak vegetation stage of VV and VH polarization (−7.42 and −16.9 db) and there is a decrease in the backscattering values after attaining the maturity stage. Amongst VH and VV polarization, VH polarization provides a consistently increasing trend in backscatter coefficients from the panicle initiation phase to the early milking phase, after which the crop attains its maturity phase, whereas in VV polarization, an early peak of backscatter coefficients is seen much earlier during the flowering phase itself. Thus, in this study, VV polarization gives better interpretation than VH polarization in the selected rice crop fields. The obtained results were cross-validated by collecting the ground truth values during the satellite data acquisition time, throughout the crop growing period from the selected rice fields.

“…The government vision is to increase the self-sufficiency among the farmers. In 2011, the self-sufficiency level of rice is about 73% [1]. The Agriculture National Key Economic Area (NKEA) is targeted to raise the total gross national income (GNI) contribution of RM21.44 billion by 2020 [8].…”

“…The Agriculture National Key Economic Area (NKEA) is targeted to raise the total gross national income (GNI) contribution of RM21.44 billion by 2020 [8]. Although Malaysia's rice production and productivity increase each year, its yield per capita declines each year [1]. From a high of 174.6 kg of rice per capita in 1974, rice yield per capita has since fallen steadily to 86.0 kg of rice per capita in 2008 [14].…”

This initial exercise was to determine the paddy yield response functions with fertilizer application on a Malaysian soil in order to incorporate the economic consideration of the Malaysian fertilizer cost and paddy price variations. The yield response cur fertilizer could be described by a quadratic equation and this can be used in fertilizer rate prediction. The fluctuating fertilizer costs and paddy prices were used to estimate the economic fertilizer rate. It was found that the economic ferti fertilizers without subsidy were 130.96kg/ha, 41.57kg/ha, 64.20kg/ha respectively for the chosen soil types. The simulation revealed that the economic fertilizer rate and maximum profit were influenced by the current fertilizer that subsidies were not given for the fertilizers.
