One of the most significant applications of remote sensing in biotechnology is in precision agriculture. By using remote sensing technologies, farmers can monitor crop health, soil conditions, and water availability across large areas. This allows for more efficient use of resources, such as water and fertilizers, and can lead to improved crop yields and reduced environmental impact. For instance, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a common remote sensing technique used to assess plant health by measuring the difference between absorbed and reflected light.
