Abstract
This study focused on the application of Remote Sensing & Geographic Information System in Development of Crop Information System (CIS) for sustainable rice production in Jamalpur block which is located (23°04'N,87°59'E & 23°07'N,87°98'E) in Burdwan district of West Bengal, India. There rice fields were identified through Remote Sensing (RS) techniques. Aus, Aman and Boro, this three types of paddy (rice) distribution were shown using Landsat TM satellite data. The secondary data were collected from the Assistant Director's office of Agriculture, Jamalpur block. The cultivated area of different types of rice is calculated from each Gram Panchayet. The both data of rice area one which has been calculated by Remote Sensing method and another one which has been collected from ADA office are compared. Field data is used to generate the variation curve of different types of rice production in the block. It is also shown the gradually changing of rice cultivated area in this block. Finally, it is observed that all the geographic queries carried out in this research are as a result of the available dataset. So that, the decision making bodies can access to information on rice growth and management in the study area.
