Monitoring of Sugarcane Plantation Conditions Using VegetationIndices and Remote Sensing Technologies at Some Fadama Lands in Taraba State.

Okeke Francis Ifeanyi

The study investigated the use of Raster Calculator in the Map Algebra Tools of ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Tools in calculating Ratio Vegetation and Atmospherically Resistant vegetation indices. The results from these calculations will now be used to monitor sugarcane conditions for certain periods. After map designs and calculations it was realized that the green colors from the maps depicts sugarcane healthiness of these sugarcane farms, while red indicates bad health. Furthermore, after appropriate analysis it was now discovered that these broad band indices when prepared in maps can be used to monitor the development of sugarcane in these regions.
