**12. Future prospects**

Even at small farms, remote sensing is highly useful in detecting and managing various crop problems, including abiotic and biotic stresses. State or district level information systems based on available remote sensing and GIS crop information are required to efficiently utilize the information on crops for improving the economy. In order to adopt policies or address national issues related to agriculture, governments can make use of remote sensing data. Plant and seed tissue nano-chips can be implanted in near-real time to monitor crops using a new and non-traditional remote sensing technique. In the future, remote sensing will clearly play a more important role in assessing agricultural science.
