Abstract
Over the period of time, weather conditions have changed drastically. These changes have led to many serious issues such as soil nutrition depletion, reduction in soil water holding capacity, and increase in pesticide resistant weeds. Precision Agriculture (PA) is the pioneer that is changing the way people farm, offering benefits in profitability, productivity, sustainability, crop quality, environmental protection, on-farm quality of life, food safety, and rural economic development. In addition, with the aid of the recent advancements in the sensor technology, it can develop into an intelligent crop production system. Specifically, remote sensing technology that allows non-destructive acquisition of information about the earth’s surface can facilitate the implementation of PA. In this paper, a specific area of Punjab is analyzed for crop production using remote sensing data. To increase crop production and make management decisions, PA entails the application of remote sensing technology.
