A brief history of NDVI
 1970s:
•Concept of using visible and near-infrared light for vegetation assessment
introduced.
•NDVI formula developed by Rouse et al. (1974).
 1980s:
•Application of NDVI to satellite imagery for large-scale vegetation monitoring.
•First NDVI images generated from satellites.
 1990s:
•Use of NDVI for monitoring agricultural crop health and productivity.
•Application to forest and rangeland ecosystems.
 Present:
•Increased accessibility and widespread use of NDVI with high-resolution
satellite imagery and UAVs.
•Diverse applications in agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring.

INTRODUCTION
 Definition: NDVI is a quantitative measure of vegetation health
based on its spectral reflectance properties.
 Principle: Healthy vegetation absorbs more visible light (especially
red) and reflects more near-infrared (NIR) light.
 Calculation: NDVI = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red)
 Interpretation:
• Values range from -1 to 1.
• Higher values indicate healthier vegetation.
• Negative values typically represent water bodies or bare soil.

Applications of NDVI in
Agriculture
•Crop Health Monitoring:
•Early detection of stress (drought, pests, diseases)
•Identification of nutrient deficiencies
•Tracking seasonal growth and development
•Precision Agriculture:
•Variable rate application of inputs (fertilizers, pesticides)
•Optimized irrigation scheduling
•Drought Monitoring:
•Identifying drought-affected areas
•Assessing crop water stress

CONCLUSION
 While it has some limitations, such as sensitivity to atmospheric conditions
and difficulty distinguishing between vegetation types, advancements in
sensor technology and real-time data collection are expanding its usefulness.
NDVI will continue to play a vital role in precision agriculture and
environmental monitoring, becoming more accurate, accessible, and widely
used in the future.
