REVIEW OF THE APPLICATIONS OF SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING IN ORGANIC FARMING – PART II

Summary in the original language of the document

The use of remote sensing methods for monitoring, managing, and decision support in
agriculture is increasingly intensifying. With the advancement of technologies, they become more
accessible, while the quality and security of the obtained data are improving. Striving to improve
the quality of the environment and its preservation, expanding the areas occupied by organic farming
will allow us to achieve these goals. At the same time, this type of agriculture provides healthy and safe
food. For this reason, it is of great importance to start applying satellite data in organic farming as
quickly as possible. In Part II of the "Review of the applications of satellite remote sensing in organic
farming," we examine the various areas of satellite data application in organic farming. Five different
areas of satellite data application in organic farming have been identified, including satellite remote
sensing monitoring of weeds, remote sensing of crop stress and irrigation needs, yield forecasting using
remote sensing methods and remote sensing monitoring of plant nutrition. From the review conducted,
we found that satellite data can significantly support and facilitate the transition to organic farming,
adequate fertilization, application in phytosanitary monitoring of crops, and assessment of crop stress.
