The extent of cultivaiton product is a repetitive product which is generated every growing season on selected areas. It is based upon medium resolution image data (pixel size 100m - 300m), in specific SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data in combination with multitemporal optical data. The product is based upon the multi-temporal characteristics of vegetation, and in specific the changes of agricultural land during the growing season (field clearance, sowing, senescence, harvesting, etc.). This requires repetitive acquisitions of satellite data during the growing season, typically once every 2 weeks. The extent of cultivation product covers larger areas, potentially full countries, depending upon its size. The main difference with the cultivated area product is the scale (less detail due to lower resulition base data) and the additional use of multitemporal optical data. This product is covering SudanThe intention of this product is to provide an independent and objective estimate of the extent of cultivation in a give country and given growing season.
