Summary
Dr. Suryakant Bajirao Tarate, Principal Scientist at ICAR-National Rice Research Centre (ICAR-NRC), Bihar, served as the keynote speaker. The webinar comprehensively addressed three fundamental applications of Remote Sensing and GIS technologies in agricultural sciences. Agricultural Crop Mapping formed the foundation of the discussion, where Dr. Tarate elaborated on satellite-based crop identification techniques, multi-spectral imaging applications, and the development of accurate land-use classification systems. Participants gained insights into how high-resolution satellite data enables precise mapping of different crop types across vast agricultural landscapes, facilitating better resource planning and policy formulation. He demonstrated how these technologies enable farmers and agricultural planners to make informed decisions about harvesting schedules, market planning, and food security assessments. The webinar highlighted the integration of various technological platforms, including satellite remote sensing and ground sensor networks. The webinar successfully bridged the gap between advanced remote sensing research and practical agricultural applications, equipping attendees with knowledge essential for modern agricultural practices.
