Abstract
Monitoring crop health in the Nile Delta of Egypt is based on traditional methods of sample point techniques. As a result of rapid population growth but little increase in the amount of water and cultivated land, there is an urgent need for new technologies to increase and even double crop productivity in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The use of new technologies such as remote sensing is still restricted in the field of agriculture in the Nile Delta. The small-field system restricts the application of remote sensing techniques at an individual level since it would be costly for every farmer who owns less than one hectare to monitor his crops health by satellite imagery. However, cooperation between farmers and the Government will be very useful for applying this technology. Growing one crop in the same area following the same agricultural practices including ploughing, crop variety, nitrogen rate, irrigation interval, plant protection methods and sowing date will make it easier to utilise remote sensing techniques to detect stress in this area and resultantly enhance crop productivity.
