To develop weather and satellite derived vegetation and Agromet parameter based linear and non-linear models to forecast crop yield at spatial scale for wheat, rice, sugarcane and rabi pulses.
To develop weather-based spatial forewarning models for major pests of rice, potato, wheat, sugarcane and cotton.
To develop forecast system for up-scaling of ground-based models to those based on satellite-derived agro-met data products along with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) advisories.
