The integration of drones and remote sensing technology in agriculture is profoundly reshaping contemporary farming methods, enabling farmers to monitor their crops with enhanced efficiency and accuracy. Drones assist in minimizing the excessive use of water, pesticides, and herbicides, while also maintaining soil fertility. These technologies facilitate more effective labor utilization, thus boosting productivity and elevating crop quality. Remote sensing is essential for crop classification, monitoring, and yield evaluation, offering vital insights for informed decision-making. The importance of remote sensing in agricultural research is paramount, given that crops are highly responsive to changes in soil characteristics, climate, and various physical and chemical factors. Agricultural production systems display pronounced seasonal trends linked to the biological life cycle of crops, with significant variability across different regions and times. Additionally, agricultural productivity can vary significantly over brief periods due to adverse growing conditions, such as droughts or disease outbreaks. Therefore, timely monitoring is crucial for comprehending these fluctuations. Remote sensing technologies provide an effective means for monitoring agricultural systems with frequent revisits and remarkable precision. For sustainable agricultural management, it is essential to evaluate all factors influencing crop production on a spatio-temporal scale, ensuring that farmers can react swiftly to evolving conditions. This chapter outlines the current advancements in drone technology and remote sensing applications within agriculture, covering aspects such as crop health evaluation, evapotranspiration assessment, weed control, and pesticide application. It concludes by urging farmers to invest in these cutting-edge technologies to maximize agricultural yields, enhance sustainability, and improve long-term productivity.
