Crop Survey of KUMATA Hobli of Kumta Taluk of Uttar Kannada District of Karnataka for Kharif Season 2018-19

The dataset comprises over 3,200 records of individual crop survey points collected between September and December 2018. Each record includes the survey date, the type of crop or land (such as Paddy, Coconut, Areca nuts, Fallow land), the area extent of the crop in a 'Acres-Guntas-Square Yards' format, and the precise geographical coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). The data also includes administrative details like district, taluk, hobli, and village names and codes, enabling granular analysis. A unique survey ID is provided for each entry. The data appears to have been collected as part of a Kharif season crop survey.

Data Quality

The dataset is generally consistent but has areas with quality issues. Several columns, such as `Image_url`, `Month`, and `Weekname`, are sparsely populated. The `Crop_Extent` column uses a non-standard format (Acres-Guntas-Square Yards) requiring parsing for numerical analysis. Date formats in `CropSurveyDate` are consistent. The dataset has a high degree of completeness for core fields like location (Latitude, Longitude, Village_Name) and `Cropname`.

Use Cases

Crop yield analysis, agricultural planning, geospatial mapping of crops, seasonal trend analysis, policy planning, and precision agriculture insights.

Limitations

Missing values in some categorical fields, unclear formatting of crop extent values, and lack of explicit units for certain measurements. Image URL field is not properly structured.

Methodology

The data was likely collected through field surveys where enumerators recorded crop information at specific geographical points. The presence of `Image_url` (though mostly empty) suggests a mobile-based data collection tool may have been used to capture photographs of the surveyed plots. The 'Crop_Extent' values in the 'Acres-Guntas-SqYards' format indicate a local land measurement system was used.
