Abstract

Agriculture is a fundamental sector globally, particularly in developing countries, as it provides food, feed and non-food products essential for economic and societal stability. Advancements in remote sensing technologies have greatly enhanced agricultural productivity and management. Thermal infrared remote sensing (TIRS) is a transformative tool in agriculture, enabling precise monitoring of crop and soil conditions by capturing and analysing the emitted radiation in the thermal infrared spectrum (3–14 μm). This technology offers critical
insights into crop and soil health. Unlike optical sensing, thermal remote sensing supports crop water stress assessment, soil moisture detection, irrigation scheduling, evapotranspiration monitoring, drought stress analysis, disease detection, soil property mapping, crop maturity assessment, yield estimation, tile drainage mapping and residue cover analysis. Integrating TIRS with multispectral and hyperspectral imaging enhances agricultural decision-making, optimises resource allocation and improves crop health. Future research should prioritize AI-driven real-time data processing by integrating machine learning, UAV-based imaging and IoT-enabled monitoring
systems. These advancements can enhance precision agriculture, optimize resource use and improve crop stress detection. As technological innovations continue to evolve, thermal remote sensing is poised to play a pivotal role in sustainable agricultural management, offering valuable insights to improve efficiency and resilience in farming practices.
