The Iranian Space Agency (ISA) has released a report on satellite crop monitoring of the subtropical area in its Northern provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran. The monitoring is based on the imagery received from remote sensing satellites. The detailed report is provided for provincial managers in order to improve macro-management of agriculture nationwide.
The maps of gardens in Gilan and Mazandaran provinces are based on satellite data processing received during the current Iranian calendar year (started March 21, 2018) and provided to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Many sources say satellite imagery is revolutionizing agriculture and can help farmers and public authorities take land monitoring to a new level. The imagery infrastructure takes care of all the complexity of handling a satellite imagery archive and makes it available for end-users via easy-to-integrate web services.
Monitoring of crop conditions, soil properties and mapping tillage activities, help to assess land use, predict harvests, monitor seasonal changes and assist in implementing policy for sustainable development.
