| Summary, etc | Remote sensing has been directly responsible for major advances in our understanding and ability to manage agriculture, forestry and water resources. Some work in this applied research as far as rubber is concerned was done earllier. It is now possible to have a rubber plantation distribution map of a given geographic area that could be used as one layer in the Geographical Information System. Resource map of soils under rubber in traditional region are already prepared that could be used as another theme. Earlier report is available regarding the combined application of remote sensing and GIS regarding the separation of soils under rubber. Other layers related to rubber also could be generated and brought into the environment of GIS for other activities like disease map, clonal distribution etc. Another aspect called DEM (digital elevation model) is assuming importance in site-specific management. A DEM is a digital representation of the relief of the earths surface. Typically, it consists of arrays and values that represent topographical elevations measured at equal intervals on earths surface. Reports are available regarding the possible applications of DEM include planning of planting terraces, computation of site yield potentials, production of soil erosion risk map etc., Similarly, there were attempts to improve planting and development in hilly terrain and implementation of field work through the use of DEM. In the present paper, the work regarding the application of remote sensing in delineating rubber plantations from other types of vegetation is discussed. An early available soil map was shown as another layer that can be brought into the GIS environment. The digital elevation model of the study area was generated using a software, 3DEM. Draped images of supervised classification map and soil map and soil map in three dimensional view are shown. It is possible to develop a database with different layers of information related to rubber cultivation to create a Rubber Information System (RIS) that can work as a decision support system. |
