Abstract :
The agriculture industry has encountered
several challenges in recent years, including population
growth, resource scarcity, and climate change. In
response, new technologies have been developed to
enhance agricultural productivity, sustainability, and
efficiency. Among these technologies, RS and GIS have
gained significant attention due to their potential to
transform agriculture. RS involves using satellite
imagery to collect data on various agricultural
parameters such as crop health, moisture content, and
vegetation indices. GIS is a computer-based system that
allows for the integration and analysis of different
spatial data sources. The combination of RS and GIS
presents a potent tool for managing agricultural crops
by providing accurate and timely crop management
plans. The objective of this research paper is to
investigate the potential of remote sensing (RS) and
geographical information system (GIS) as effective tools
for managing agricultural crops. A thorough literature
review and case studies were conducted on various
crops, including wheat, maize, rice, and sugarcane. The
study findings illustrate the diverse advantages of
utilizing RS and GIS in agriculture, such as enhanced
crop yield estimation, monitoring, soil moisture
mapping, and damage assessment. The significance of
integrating RS and GIS in agriculture is emphasized, as
it can lead to sustainable and efficient crop management
practices. The research results highlight the need for the
agriculture industry, policymakers, and researchers to
utilize advanced technologies like RS and GIS to
improve crop management practices.
