National Crop Statistics Consortium • Roles and Responsibilities • Agricultural Research Council • Institute Soil Climate &Water: • Agro-metereology / Climatic conditoins • Summer Grain Institute: objective yield – maize • Field measurements: • Small Grain Institute: objective yield – wheat • Field measurements • SiQ • PICES (Producer Independent Crop Estimate System) • Statistical processing, surveys & interviews • GeoTerraImage • Satellite image processing • Crop type classifications
Summer Maize Sequence • Area planted x Yield = Production • Maize: 3 M ha x 4 ton/ha = 12 M tons • Mapping update of Field Boundaries • Spot 5 Satellite imagery: complete Nov • Producer Independent Crop Estimate System • February & March – PICES Aerial Survey • Objective Yield Measurement • May – Field Visits • Intentions to plant & Actual Harvested • Oct / Nov – Telephonic survey • Crop Type Classification: July 2013 –May 2014
Umlindi Report - Monthly Various products are derived from ARC-ISCW weather station data and remote sensing data • Data from the Coarse Resolution Imagery Databank (vegetation conditions) and from the National Agro-Climatology Databank (weather/climate conditions). Coarse resolution data received from GeoNetCast • Focus is on periods relevant for agricultural activities and areas important for crop production • Products developed from above-mentioned sources at the ARC-ISCW
Rainfall amount, deviations and other derivatives for periods relevant to crop production
Vegetation conditions as determined from various derivatives of the NDVI • Spatial products • Time series and comparisons with yields and vegetation conditions of previous years for various areas
Use of satellite imagery SPOT5 LANDSAT 7/8, DMC ? In-season 2013/14 Previous seasons 2006/7/8/9/10/11/12/13 Satellite image calibration Field crop boundary PICES survey @ provincial level Satellite image analysis @ field level
PICES: crop verification • Vast improvement: survey efficiency • Support image classification • Statistical calculated of area • Additional points used for image training • Selected fields with identified crop types
Freestate Province Winter 2007 Summer 2008
Maize Comparison: 2007 vs 2008 • Spatial Distribution • Cultivated area • Crop types • District level comparison: • Maize area / district
Maize Comparison: 2009 vs 2010 • Spatial Distribution • Cultivated area • Crop types • District level comparison: • Maize area / district
Maize: Objective Yield • Approx 800 farms visited • Selected from PICES where Maize identified
Maize: Objective Yield • Select 5 random points within field • Sample of 11 cobs harvested and measured
Telephonic Survey • Randomlyselected farms • Indentify farmer and confirm location • Telephonic Survey during Oct / Nov • Phone farmer to conduct interview • Previous season • Area ( hectares ) of white maize • Area ( hectares ) of yellow maize • Actual yield harvested • Next season • Intention to plant: hectares for next season
Summary: Crop Estimates #1 • DAFF – Crop Estimates Committee (CEC) • Field Boundaries • Annual updates of Centre Pivot irrigation fields • Stratification layer for PICES & other surveys • Deliver provincial stratification • PICES Survey (Cropped Area Estimate) • Geographic Random Selected Points • Used to calibrate crop type classification • Deliver report to DAFF CEC • Provincial summary of crops planted in ha
Summary: Crop Estimates #2 • Objective Yield Measurement for Maize • Field visits during May (after senescence started) • Deliver report to DAFF CEC: • Yield per province for Maize • Telephonic Survey • Deliver report to DAFF CEC: • White / Yellow Maize split per province • Area (ha) per crop per province • Crop Type Classification • Trends: Cultivation and Crop Rotation Practices • Deliver report: District Crop Area Table
