Crop Monitoring Using Microwave Remote Sensing
Satellite-based preharvest estimates of agricultural output are an essential requirement of agriculture management and policy. Optical remote sensing is limited by the cloudy and obscure weather conditions during monsoon season. Microwave signal can penet

The ever-growing world population will lead to enormous pressure on land resources to produce food for 10 billion people in 2050. However, to meet the future challenges of feeding the world population, there is a need for a continuous assessment and prioritized intervention to halt the declining trends in crop productivity, minimizing the rate of land degradation, reducing the environmental damage, and enhancing farm income through a sustainable resource development plan. The adoption of Geospatial Technologies encompassing techniques and tools re
