ICRISAT Pioneers Scalable Solution to Assess Soil Degradation

Researchers at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) have developed an innovative and scalable approach to assess soil degradation across semi-arid agricultural landscapes using a combination of proximal and satellite-based diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The study titled “Assessing Soil Degradation in Agricultural Landscapes of Semi-Arid Tropics Using Proximal and Remote Sensing-Based Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy,” recently published by the British Society…
