Abstract: The agriculture industry has encountered several challenges in recent years, including population growth, resource scarcity, and climate change. In response, new technologies have been developed to enhance agricultural productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Among these technologies, RS and GIS have gained significant attention due to their potential to transform agriculture. RS involves using satellite imagery to collect data on various agricultural parameters such as crop health, moisture content, and vegetation indices. GIS is a computer-based system that allows for the integration and analysis of different spatial data sources. The combination of RS and GIS presents a potent tool for managing agricultural crops by providing accurate and timely crop management plans. The objective of this research paper is to investigate the potential of remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) as effective tools for managing agricultural crops. A thorough literature review and case studies were conducted on various crops, including wheat, maize, rice, and sugarcane. The study findings illustrate the diverse advantages of utilizing RS and GIS in agriculture, such as enhanced crop yield estimation, monitoring, soil moisture mapping, and damage assessment. The significance of integrating RS and GIS in agriculture is emphasized, as it can lead to sustainable and efficient crop management practices. The research results highlight the need for the agriculture industry, policymakers, and researchers to utilize advanced technologies like RS and GIS to improve crop management practices.
