- No number pages in the document!
- Fig. 5 must be improved. The x-axis better limit is -11 to -18dB or near and 1.5 to 4 or near in the y-axis.
- Fig. 6 must be improved. The x-axis better limit is 1.5 to 3.5 or near and 1000 to 5000kg/ha or near in the y-axis.

Reviewer 3 Report
The authors of this manuscript compared the actual peanut yield and the predicted one by using synthetic aperture radar and CROPGRO simulation model.
The manuscript was well-designed and written and contains good information to improve peanut productivity in India.
However, there are some suggestions that could improve the manuscript. Please find my comments in the attached pdf file.
