Satellite Eyes on Agriculture: Monitoring Crop Health with Remote Sensing Technologies

Authors : Dr. Ananya Sharma, Rohit Kumar

Abstract : Satellite-based remote sensing has emerged as an indispensable tool in agricultural monitoring and management. With ever-increasing global demands for food security, timely and accurate information regarding crop health, yield estimation, and phenological stages has become critical. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the utilization of satellite imagery in monitoring various crop parameters. It explores different remote sensing technologies, spectral indices like NDVI, satellite platforms such as Landsat and Sentinel, and their respective resolutions. The paper also covers application methodologies for detecting diseases, predicting yields, and identifying water stress levels in crops. The integration of geospatial data analytics with remote sensing has provided significant support to precision agriculture andpolicymaking.

Keywords: Remote Sensing, Crop Monitoring, NDVI, Satellite Imagery, Precision Agriculture, Geospatial Data, Yield Prediction
