Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent agricultural equipment is crucial for enhancing agricultural production efficiency and crop yield due to the fact that it can be used to provide the best growing environment for crops. In recent years, with the rapid development of high-precision multi-field coupling simulation technology, flexible sensing technology, and artificial intelligence algorithms, which have provided new ideas for the visual design of agricultural machinery and the monitoring of the entire agricultural machinery operation process, the question of how to improve the level of intelligence and informationization of agricultural machinery and equipment has become the focus of research in the field of agricultural machinery.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for academic exchange and to feature innovative research results of automation technology and agricultural intelligent equipment. We invite experts and scholars engaged in related research to contribute. The contents of this Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment design;
- The application of multi-field coupling simulation technology in the design of agricultural machinery;
- Innovative applications of high-precision control systems or related algorithms in the field of agricultural machinery;
- Innovative applications of flexible sensors in the field of agricultural machinery.
In addition, this Special Issue welcomes research articles, review papers, and short communications that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this rapidly developing field. We encourage submissions that highlight the design of smart agricultural equipment and automation and information control systems or related algorithms for agricultural machinery.
By publishing your research results in this Special Issue, you will have the opportunity to share your findings with a global audience and contribute to the development of the field. We look forward to receiving your submissions and facilitating the dissemination of groundbreaking research in this exciting field.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
