A wealth of literature suggests that the biomass production model based on solar
radiation and leaf development can be applied in conjunction to satellite data (e.g.
Daughtry et al. 1992, Grower et al. 1999, Bastiaanssen and Ali 2003).
It is an important step towards quantifying regional yields by an accurate
assessment of net CO2 uptake in crop growth, termed as net primary productivity.
One general drawback of this approach might be the insufficient accuracy and no
in-season yield prediction on a local scale.
However, straightforward physics and possibility to incorporate satellite
measurements in the model makes the concept worth trying for irrigated agricultural
conditions.

III. Forcing the crop model's predictions to match remotely sensed estimates
of actual field conditions (Barnes et al., 1997), and
Supit (1997) combines the remote sensing data and WOFOST model for
predicting the total wheat yield for the EU countries.
Sehgal et al., (1999) describe organization of soil, waether and RS data and
its linkage with WTGROWS model for productivity estimation of wheat in
Haryana, India.
