For this purpose, spectral characteristics ofcotton, soybean and corn were determined at the six bands. Optimum bandcombination was found to be 3th, 5th and 7th bands for determination of these plantsgrowing plots in this region. Satellite images were classified by supervized methodand these plants in the plots basis were distinguished by 96.3 percentage accuracy.Anahtar Kelimeler : Landsat 5 TM, Remote Sensing, Yüreğir Region, ImageClassificationII
