Abstract: 
A theoretical basis of the use of NOAA/AVHRR data for a cereal crop forecast is presented. The substantiation of some features of calculation of AVHRR-based normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the use of Landsat-7 images for a winter wheat yield forecast within the limits of the Kyiv region (Ukraine) is given. It is found that a linear regression relationship between the sum of NDVI and productivity is more preferable for performing a forecast at the given stage of studies.
Keywords: multiband images, yield forecast, «Landsat-7», «NOAA/AVHRR»
