Abstract

Remote sensing has several capabilities to be used in agriculture, which plays a significant role in crop classification, crop monitoring and yield assessment. In Indonesia, use of remote sensing divided into 3 eras: non-satellite (1970s - 1981), transition (1982 - 2004), digital satellite (2005 - now). Research on digital remote sensing for agriculture has been started since 1997/98. However, operational use of remote sensing in agriculture started in mid-2014 and its use has been increasing to date. Remote sensing is an important tool in timely monitoring and provides an accurate picture of agricultural sector with a high revisit frequency and accuracy. A sustainable agricultural management needs a spatio-temporal based technology analyzes. Combination between remote sensing and other advanced techniques such as global positioning systems and geographic information systems plays a major role in assessment and management of agricultural activities. Taking advantage of remote sensing capabilities, Indonesian Agency of Agricultural Research and Development (IAARD), the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has not only used for agricultural land resources mapping, but also developed a remote sensing based information system of Standing Crop (SISCrop) and Smart Soil Sensing Kit. Using the latest satellite data (such as Sentinel-1 and 2, SPOT 6/7, Landsat 8, and MODIS), MoA can estimate crop area, monitor plant growth, evaluate soil fertility, detect crop stress, monitor drought and flood condition, estimate yield, implement precision agriculture, and support crop insurance assessment. These implementation can improve efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural land management and maintain the sustainability of agricultural system.
