Monitoring crop health and stress is crucial for timely detection of pests and diseases and for minimizing yield losses. Field-based measurements are labor-intensive, costly, and limited in spatial and temporal coverage. These challenges highlight the need for remote sensing data as an efficient and scalable alternative. This keynote talk explores why remote sensing data are essential for detecting stress in vegetation and demonstrates how observations obtained from various platforms can be used to assess pest and disease impacts by detecting early physiological changes supporting timely and targeted management decisions.
