This book, Remote Sensing Applications in Agriculture and Agrometeorology, provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques, and applications of remote sensing and geospatial technologies in modern agricultural and agrometeorological practices. With the growing demand for precision farming and climate-resilient agriculture, the book offers a timely and practical resource for students, researchers, professionals, and policymakers.

Beginning with the fundamentals of remote sensing, the book guides readers through essential concepts such as data acquisition, pre-processing, and the retrieval of key biophysical parameters. It elaborates on the working of data acquisition systems, image processing workflows, and modern tools for information extraction, enabling readers to handle and interpret satellite data effectively. The volume covers specialized topics including microwave remote sensing, and the integration of GIS and GPS for spatial analysis. Chapters on crop discrimination, and monitoring of abiotic and biotic stresses, demonstrate the power of remote sensing in crop health surveillance and precision agriculture.

Crucial land-based applications are detailed in chapters on soil resource inventory, land use mapping, and the use of remote sensing in watershed planning and management highlighting its role in sustainable natural resource management. The book also addresses crop yield modeling, production forecasting, and the use of satellite data in weather prediction, enhancing the relevance of remote sensing in real-time decision-making. A major highlight of the book is its emphasis on remote sensing-driven agrometeorological advisories, showing how space-based technologies support farmers with timely, location-specific, and actionable information. Through an applied and interdisciplinary approach, this book equips readers with the knowledge and tools to harness remote sensing for sustainable agricultural development, resource optimization, and improved climate risk management
