MODIS (MODerate Resolution Spectroradiometer) Remote Sensing Technology with varying multispectral spatial and temporal resolution and large coverage, which suitable for monitoring the changes of Earth's surface in large scale. Some kind of data from satelite images provides information to monitor vegetation cover such as MOD09Q1 image, with spatial resolution of 250x250m, and at 8-day interval, suitable for the study of crops  and rice cropping calendar. Based on the images properties (Normalized Difference Vegetatione Index-NDVI), the relationship with the change of rice crop status in space and time to help identify the rice cropping calendar and cropping season. Besides, the the prediction of pest occurences could be generated based on the correlation between the rice growing stages and pests occurence. Results show that can use satellite images of MODIS-MOD09Q1 to generate the rice cropping stages and pest occurrens status.
