Information technology for crop yield forecasting model creation is proposed on the base of satellite data and inductive approach. A first order regression model is used with 16-days composite of maximum NDVI for crop mask as a predictor. A crop mask is built automatically using clusterization of an NDVI time series (using k-means or Kohonen maps). It is shown that accuracy of the forecasting model for the entire region is better than for separate districts. The proposed approach can be used not only for winter wheat crop yield forecasting, but also for other crops, in particular spring crops
Keywords: Crop yield forecasting, regression model, crop mask, information technology, MODIS, NDVI, clusterization, Kohonen map
