Wheat growth profile based yield models for 12 districts of Punjab State and 16 districts of Haryana State have been developed using the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from NOAA-11 AVHRR data of the 1993-94 cropping season. Atmospheric normalisation of AVHRR data was performed prior to deriving district-level area weighted average NDVI (AWANDVI). The invariant growth profile model suggested by Badhwar was fitted and spectral emergence date, maximum vegetative vigour, peak day value of profile, growth rate and senescence rate, area under the curve, etc. were derived. These parameters were related to the reported district-level wheat yields using multiple regression analysis. A field study was also conducted using a handheld spectro-radiometer at the research station of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana. From this field experimental data, wheat growth profile parameters were derived which were compared with satellite based parameters. Inversion of the models was carried out to evaluate the results by comparing the reported and predicted wheat yields. The results indicate highly significant fitting of the NDVI profile to the Badhwar model as indicated by multiple linear correlation coefficients and Fisher test. A significant relationship between district-level wheat yields and fractional area under the curve was also observed. The overall correlation of 0.82 for Punjab and Haryana states was obtained between reported yield and growth profile derived parameters. Atmospheric normalisation resulted in improvement of prediction model statistics (R increased from 0.42 to 0.86). Evaluation of the models indicated that 10 out of 16 districts of Haryana State and 9 out of 12 districts of Punjab State showed relative deviations within 10% between reported and model predicted wheat yields.
