REMOTE SENSING
Remote Sensing: Uses its own energy source and records the reflected signal. Example: RADAR and LiDAR. COMPONENTS Energy source: Sun or artificial energy. Atmosphere: Medium through which energy travels. Target: Object or area being studied. Sensor: Detects reflected or emitted energy. Data processing: Converts collected data into useful information. Interpretation: Analyses the information for decision-making. APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURE *Crop health monitoring. Identification of crop diseases and nutrient deficiencies. Soil moisture assessment. Drought monitoring. Crop acreage estimation. Yield prediction. Irrigation management. Flood and disaster assessment. ADVANTAGES: Covers large geographical areas. Saves time and labour. Provides repeated observations. Helps in precision agriculture. Supports better farm management.
