Work load reduced and time saved in area frame compared to list frame

• Work load reduced and time saved in area frame compared to list frame

• GPS is compulsory to delineate the boundary for a segment. This is not the case in list frame

• The percentage difference in the area estimate covered by different crops between list frame and area frame was high

• Even though significant gain in precision was expected from area frame, that is not attained in the pilot that was conducted in 2008. The investigation will continue in 2009 with a large sample.
