How can farmer benefit from Remote Sensing Satellite Images can be used to study vegetation. Farmer can monitor health using satellite images, Using Satellite Images to calculate NDVI Normalized Difference Vegetation Index , NVI Normalized Vegetation Indice. Example of Satellite Sensor : SMOS (Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity), can forecast crop production, depict drought as well. How it works : Near Infrared & Red Band can be used to study vegetation since in NIR band vegetation gives maximum reflection and in Red it gives minimum Crop Monitoring can help farmers in monitoring their fields by giving them real-time information about possible risks that could threaten their crops image source: Tata Chemicals
