Abstract

Using Sentinel-2 satellite data, this research attempts to map and analyze the average distribution of Rabi crops in Jharkhand's Dumka district. The study evaluates the quantity and quality of Rabi crops throughout the winter cropping season by utilizing Sentinel-2's multispectral capabilities. The investigation will offer insightful information about crop productivity and agricultural practices in the area. Rabi crops are a crucial component of the agricultural operations in the area, and accurate data on their extent is necessary for efficient resource allocation, agricultural planning, and yield prediction. The utilization of Sentinel-2 imagery, which provides high spatial resolution multispectral data and facilitates enhanced crop categorization, is part of the methodology employed in this study. The work demonstrates how to categorize satellite photos and recognize rabi crops present in the region.To verify the classification results derived from satellite imaging, the study also takes into account ground truth data obtained from field surveys.The study's conclusions show how well Sentinel-2 satellite data and cutting-edge remote sensing technologies can map the area of rabi crops in Dumka District.The produced crop maps give farmers, policymakers, and local government officials useful information that helps them decide on crop management, resource allocation, and agricultural planning.
