The high resolution satellite data with its 6 - 8 days repetitivity
will have to be tried to generate mulberry crop growth profiles
and monitoring the conditions of the mulberry crop more
accurately. The study can be extended to taluk or district levels
for operational applications of high resolution data to identify
the status of mulberry crop.
