Advanced Applications of Remote Sensing for Agricultural Crops

Remote sensing is the technology used for acquiring information about an object or any phenomenon without making any physical contact with the object. There are several applications of remote sensing in the field of agriculture. It plays a crucial role in observing and monitoring the health of crops. It also helps in identifying the crops affected by conditions such as bad weather and pests. This information is essential for making timely crop management decisions. It is used to determine the properties of soil including soil texture, soil organic matter, soil pH level, and moisture content. Some other major applications of remote sensing in agriculture include predicting weather conditions, monitoring water conditions, precision farming, observing air quality, and monitoring and predicting climate changes. This book outlines the advanced applications of remote sensing for agricultural crops. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers updated with the latest concepts in this area of study. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of research on this topic.
