Abstract
Commodity trees need to be managed well to ensure good produce. Most plantations are using the traditional way for monitoring which is time and energy consuming, further, highly in cost. Oil palm is one of the most common agriculture crops planted in South East Asia especially in Malaysia and Indonesia. The tree is mainly grown for the use of vegetable oil production and other products such as plastics, detergent and biodiesel. Thus, proper plantation monitoring is important to ensure the productivity and quality of the palm oil product. This study aims to investigate all types of satellite remote sensing imagery that have been applied in oil palm plantation. Satellite imagery is preferred as users able to obtain detailed, high-resolution information with wide coverage area. Discussions on the suitability of various sources in satellite imagery like panchromatic, multispectral and hyperspectral images are highlighted. It is suggested that these images can be further utilised for more potential and detail oil palm plantation application as well as other agricultural areas to achieve efficient monitoring.
