Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques for Managing Plant Biotic and Abiotic Stresses

The environment and weather have a crucial impact on the agriculture industry. The country's established farming practices and food output to support its expanding population may be threatened by climate change. Agriculture and climate change are linked because agricultural processes frequently employ the result of climate as an input. Due to the growing impact of climate change on agriculture, these measures for mitigating its effects have received a great deal of attention in recent decades. During their growth and developmental phases, agricultural crops often go through a cycle that is extremely vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stimuli. This suggests that stress throughout any stage of development is detrimental to the growth, development, and productivity of crops during the production cycle. Any external element that causes a malfunction in an agricultural crop's life cycle is referred to as crop stress. Crop stress comes in two flavours: biotic and abiotic. Abiotic stressors include things like drought, nutrient imbalance, salinity, nutrient toxicity, insufficient or excessive water, waterlogging conditions, and physical attacks by herbivores. Biotic stressors include infections from disease pathogens. Each cropping season's crop output is severely reduced as a result of these pressures. The science and art of gathering data from a device that is not in contact with the thing being studied in order to learn more about it, as well as its surroundings, is known as remote sensing (RS). In order to quantify and visualise the changes in plants, geographic information system (GIS) techniques are used to recognise and understand forms and patterns of remotely sensed imagery based on corresponding spectral signatures.
