Abstract
This study was carried out for the following two purposes through analysis of satellite data and meteorological data. One is to assess the feasibility of developing an efficient cultivation support system for effective reduction of costs relating to sugar beet cultivation. The other is to predict the root yield before the harvesting season.
The cumulative temperature, cumulative precipitation and cumulative solar radiation from the end of April to the middle of July were selected as the predictors of the root yield prediction formula. The predictive error was 3.8t/ha, that was a result calculated by the farmers group, after weighted to the predicted root yield using NDVI. The results suggest that it is possible to predict the root yield before three months of the harvesting season. For providing such results to sugar companies in much earlier before the harvesting, the efficiency of sugar beet collection and sugar production will increase substantially.
