Abstract

Agricultural statistics are considered one of the most important topics in the developed countries now. In addition to the irrigation systems used, they relate to the quality and quantity of production and the consequent export and import of agricultural crops in order to achieve food security for the country. Therefore, the present traditional methods used in the collection of statistical data are not sufficient to cover the vast areas of cultivated strategic crops and to determine the effects therein. This is due to many factors, the most important of which is climatic changes. Hence the importance of the application of remote sensing techniques for image and data in the survey, agricultural statistics and monitoring of the quality and quantity of production using the latest satellite images available free from the owner of artificial satellite Sentinel2 which has spatial resolution of 10m instead of 30m available in artificial satellite Landsat8. Research results showed that the temperature can be controlled using modern techniques used in irrigation, which improves the atmosphere and thus contribute to providing a suitable environment for the wheat crop, which helps to increase the amount of production these have been clearly monitored using applicable indicators derived from satellite imageries data.
