7 Benefits of Using Remote

Sensing & GIS in Agriculture

For real-time weather analysis and forecasts, floods, and agricultural areas
seeded, lost, or damaged owing to floods and rainfall, remote sensing and
Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies are often utilised.

Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) have exploded in

popularity in numerous industries for visualisation, monitoring, management, and
prospective development over the last few decades. Without making any physical
touch, remote sensing and GIS technology enable agencies to obtain trustworthy
information on natural and man-made features, as well as process and interpret
suitably phenomena occurring over the earth’s surface. Farmers nowadays rely on
technical advancements.

Estimation of Crop Sown Area
Crop sown area estimation is one of the most
important aspects of agricultural remote sensing. In
mapping and monitoring diverse crops’ sown area
estimation, remote sensing is critical. Sentinel-1, 2,
Landsat-8, Worldview-3, LISS-IV, and other satellite
data give precise crop sown area and aid in
agricultural loss estimates due to various catastrophic
catastrophes.

3
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
(NDVI)
his is generally used to monitor vegetation dynamics,
especially for determining crop health status. The
possibility of knowing crop phenology increases with
NDVI since it explains crop chronology and its
relationship to weather and climate (season).

4
Crop Diseases Identification
Remote sensing technology allows for the spatial
distribution of disease and pest information across a
broad region at a reasonable cost. Crop infected
areas such as Mealybug, Planthopper, and White Fly
are found using satellite images and spatial analytic
tools to provide an overview for analysing possibly
contaminated areas.

5
Soil Properties

Soil qualities are important in farm management

since they directly affect yield production. Changes in
farming systems and land management cause soil
changes, compromising current and future capacity
for primary production and crop provision, as well as
micronutrient mapping.

6
Flood Impact
The bulk of farmland is devastated every year during
the Kharif season owing to flash floods or severe rains.
Satellite remote sensing delivers valuable information
by combining satellite pictures with ground-based
data gathered by ground surveying teams to
calculate precise damage assessments.

7
NATCAT Modelling
Natural catastrophe modelling is a method that uses
a probabilistic technique to anticipate the outcome
and behaviour of natural hazards in real time or as a
probable forecast. This involves risk mapping and
hazard measurement utilising computer-simulated
catastrophe models.

8
Drone Image Analysis for Crop Damage
Assessment

Drone image analysis is particularly beneficial in

micro-level crop evaluation for hailstorm crop loss,
horticulture tree counting, illnesses, and many other
applications.
