Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a key parameter to characterize the canopy–atmosphere interface, where most of the energy fluxes exchange. Space-borne satellite images have shown their relevance for various applications including LAI retrieval over large areas. Although optical data have been used for this purpose in previous studies, the constraints to acquire optical data during extreme weather conditions due to the presence of clouds, haze, smoke etc. hinders its use for uninterrupted monitoring. This study aims to analyze the relationships of C-band RISAT-1 hybrid polarized SAR data (σ˚RH and σ˚RV) with wheat LAI. The results have shown the correlation coefficient (|r|) of 0.57 and 0.73 for RH and RV backscatter, respectively, using non-linear regression approach. It is also observed that the accuracy of LAI retrieval has been significantly improved with |r| and RMSE of 0.81 and 0.54 (m²/m²), respectively, by considering both RH and RV backscatter as inputs for support vector machine-based model.
