摘要

The increase in global food production has led to heavy modern farming practices. To manage different crops on a large scale and make them more profitable, chemical input-based overuse is increasing day by day. The excessive number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is depleting the soil and causing several problems, such as making food toxic, polluting the environment, balancing soil microorganisms, and failing to control crop diseases. To deal with such problems, farmers need accurate information about crops at all stages of growth. Providing this information disguises the availability of technology. Instead of other monitoring activities, remote sensing is employed on a large scale for monitoring the vast majority of crops. Remote sensing on satellite platforms produces not only a snapshot of the entire field but also digital images over time. It provides a variety of useful information, such as crop area, production, yield, and environmental stress monitoring, including drought, disease, weeds, and pest altitude, in real-time. The primary problems of agricultural management are significantly enhanced input production combined with minimized environmental and ecological impacts. The accuracy of this information is very important for decision-making. Due to the time and cost effort required to connect to the entire field to collect ground information, this process is mostly expensive and reduced. The relative intensification of the information with precise orbital data and sensor inputs from fields or plots provides the possibility for a solution. Many researchers have validated their integration methods and tested them in precision orbital sites. However, their integrated information is not generally practical for broader-scale applications. It might provide a precise biophysical feature for a limited field size, but it is not yet sufficiently objective. To solve broader agricultural science monitoring problems with sensor or ground segment data, extensive experience or robust and re-installable technological applications are required. The availability of orbital satellite data and technological upgrades in plant modeling or indices may also be exploited to solve problems on a larger scale.
