Application of Remote Sensing in AgricultureBy - UTTAM KUMAR
29/09/2015 1
INTRODUCTION Remote sensing has been found to be a valuable
tool in evaluation, monitoring and management of land, water and crop resources. The launching of the Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS) has enhanced the capabilities for better utilization of this technology and significant progress has been made in soil and land cover mapping, land degradation studies, monitoring of waste land, assessment of crop conditions crop acreage and production estimates (Das, 2000).

HISTORY • In ancient India apparently had a clear concept
of remote sensing. For instance epic ‘Maha Bharata’ Sanjaya had been endowed, presumably with some equipment which enabled him to report (in real time) all the events at the distant “Kurukshetra” battle field, whether they were open or camouflaged and occurred in day or by night.
• In recent times, Frenchman Mr. Tournachen took photographs for the first time from a balloon which floated over Paris in 1858. cont…

• The term “Remote sensing” was first used in 1961
when U.S. Naval project on the study of Aerial
photographs was renamed as “remote sensing”.
• The application of remote sensing technology to
agriculture and forestry was presented in couple of
papers in 1968 at the occasion of U.N. conference on
peaceful uses of on the space uses and the first satellite
in remote sensing technology was launched in July
1972 in U.S.A. In India the remote sensing activities
initiated in 1969. SKRAU, Bikaner
•“is the measurement or acquisition of information of some property of an object or phenomena by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object or phenomena under study”
What is remote sensing:
SKRAU, Bikaner
Basic principleDifferent objects based on their structural , chemical and physical properties reflect or emit different amount of energy in different wave length ranges of the E.M.S •The sensors measure the amount of energy reflected from that object .

SCALE IN REMOTE SENSING
1. small scale : 1cm=5km or more
2. Inter mediate scale : 1cm=0.5 to 5km
3. Large scale : 1cm=0.5km or less
SKRAU, Bikaner
ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF REMOTE SENSING
1. Signals from a source/light2. Sensors on a plate form 3. Sensing (Signal reception, storage,
processing, information extraction and decision making)

When remote sensing work is carried out with the help of electromagnetic radiation (signals) reflected by a natural body(sun and the earth). eg.visible, near infra red and microwave remote sensing.

When remote sensing work is carried out with a man made source of radiations which is used to illuminate a body and to defect the signal reflected form eg. Radar and lidar remote sensing
