Abstract

This research is intended to develop a model to monitor rice yields using the photosynthetic yield index, which integrates solar radiation and air temperature effects on photosynthesis and grain-filling from heading to ripening. Monitoring crop production using remotely sensed and daily meteorological data can provide an important early warning of poor crop production to Asian countries, with their still-growing populations, and also to Japan, which produces insufficient grain for its population. The author improved a photosynthesis-and-sterility-based crop production CPI index to crop yield index CYI, which estimates rice yields, in place of the crop situation index CSI. The CSI gives a percentage of rice yields compared to normal annual production. The model calculates photosynthesis rates including biomass effects, lowtemperature sterility, and high-temperature injury by incorporating: solar radiation, effective air temperature, normalized difference vegetation index NDVI, and the effect of temperature on photosynthesis by grain plant leaves. The method is based on routine observation data, enabling automated monitoring of crop production at arbitrary regions without special observations. The method aims to quantity grain production at an early stage to raise the alarm in Asian countries, which are facing climate fluctuation through this century of global warming.
