Short summary
We provide a data set to support mapping croplands in smallholder landscapes in Ghana. The data set contains information on crop location on three agroecological zones for 2 years, temporal series of measurements of leaf area index and leaf chlorophyll concentration for maize canopies and yield. We demonstrate the use of these data to validate cropland masks, create a maize mask using satellite data and explore the relationship between satellite measurements and yield.
