Paddy Rice Phenology
• Transplanting period: presenting standing water
• Growth period: increasing chlorophyll/greenest
rapidly
• Maturity period: decreasing
NDVI
chlorophyll/senescent
• Growing season: 4-5 months depend on varieties

Paddy Watch
• Satellite data, rice phenology, and GEE cloud computing produce
automated near-real-time mapping of rice extent, and growth stages
• Rice growth stages and extent with a high spatial resolution (10 m)
and cover a large region (over 1 million ha).
• Opportunity to predict yield
