Sentinel-1 observes the whole globe every 12 days (6 days when both satellites were operational) and provides a wealth of data relevant to agriculture. Sugarcane cultivators could potentially benefit from these data by using them to assist operational and management practices. ...
Satellite sensors have been
promoted widely as a technology to monitor crop canopies to encourage
sustainable agriculture. Different remote sensing technologies are able
to detect crop stress and water shortages, with a special emphasis on
water stress. Improving water and cr

Assessing the Potential of Spatial SAR Data in the Biomass Proxy
A case study on agricultural fields in the Netherlands
Providing farmers with the tools to monitor their crops continuously and reliably can aid the scaling of global food production to meet the ever-growing demand. The optical Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is commonly used to monitor crop greenness as an indicator fo
