Rice is major crop in India and it is grown in different climatic zones. As agriculture is mainly based on spatial domain, use of geospatial technologies in agriculture has a big role in achieving the target production. ICAR-IIRR has been applying geospatial technologies to improve rice production since 2000. With this background, IIRR GeoRice Dashboard (http://www.iirr-geoportal.in ) has been developed to visualize spatial layers developed at IIRR on the real world coordinates.
The portal was successfully published online (http://www.IIRR-GRiD.in ), offering features such as real-world spatial layer visualization, interactive attribute selection, and integrated views of related data tables and charts. District level productivity maps (1997-2023), Distribution and Severity of major diseases of Rice crop (10 diseases) over 3 decades (Laha GS et al., 2016) and District level Soil Carbon map were available in this portal.
IIRR Geoportal was developed using the following open source technologies :
