Abstract - The use of optical remote sensing technologies made it simpler to distinguish between numerous crop varietiesin a given region. It's challenging to categorize a study region with numerous crops and the same planting and harvesting times using a single data type. Multiple crops, on the other hand, maybe easily distinguished using time series optical data. As a result, temporal data is employed for crop mapping and crop acreage estimate in the current research time series. The most widely utilized optical satellite data for sugarcane crop mapping is Sentinel-2B. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is India's most valuable cash crop. India has the world's largest sugarcane production area and is the world's second-largest sugarcane producer after Brazil. Uttar Pradesh is India's biggest sugarcane producer, followed by Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. The crop acreage of Sitapur District has been calculated. This study was carried out to analyze the acreage of sugarcane in Sitapur District for the year 2021-22. Unsupervised classification with the help of the iso- data method by defining 100 classes was used for the classification of the sugarcane crop. The acreage was calculated by using ArcGIS 10.8 and Erdas Imagine software. The total area calculated under sugarcane cultivation in Sitapur Districtis 1.65 lakh Hectares.

It belongs to the grass family Poaceae. In 2012 FAO estimate it become cultivated on approximately 26.00 million hectare land, in extra than ninety countries, with a worldwide harvest 1.83 billion tonnes. India is the biggest manufacturer of sugarcane in the global. The subsequent five predominant producers in amount manufacturing are Brazil, China, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico. Sugarcane is a tropical, perennial grass that bureaucracy lateral shoots at the base toproduce more than one stems, typically 3 to 4 meter peak and approximately 5 centimetres in diameter. Sugarcane is a cash crop, but it is also used as farm animal fodder. Sugarcane is a moderately non-sunny weather-loving

plant grown in pleasant weather areas; the tropical and subtropical. The total area under sugarcane in India is 5.06 million hectares with 356.56 million tonnes of production in 2020-21, out of which 70% lies in the subtropical region and the remaining 30% in the tropical belt. Major sugarcane growing states in India are U.P, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, etc., but northern India has a subtropical climate. The important sugarcane growing states of the northern region are U.P, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Uttar Pradesh is the highest sugarcane-producing State. This study was conducted in the Sitapur district (U.P.) with the help of arc GIS. In the Sitapur district, during 2021-22 the sugarcane had an area of 1.65 Lakh hectares. 1.1. CLIMATIC AND SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Sugarcane requires a warm weather year to reach maturity. The areas which are having temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius to 26 degrees Celsius and an average of a minimum of 60 cm of annual moisture. A well-drained loamy soil with neutral soil reaction (pH 6.5 to 7.5) The soil should be loose and friable with a minimum depth of 45 cm without any harmful salts and nutrient deficiency. Sugarcane grows well in alluvium and Light clay soil.
Objective The principal objective of this study is: Acreage Estimation of Sugarcane crop in SitapurDistrict.
2. STUDY AREA The district of Sitapur is located in Uttar Pradesh's Upper Gangetic Mid-Plains and is bordered on the north by four sides by the districts of Lakhimpur Kheri,
