Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The accurate and timely monitoring of crop growth status is essential for smart and sustainable agricultural production. Remote sensing data acquired from various platforms (e.g., satellites, UAVs, and the ground) have been widely used to capture crop growth status at various spatial and temporal scales. In addition, the development of new sensor technologies provides new insights for crop monitoring. Recently, technologies such as multimodal data fusion, crop model assimilation, machine learning, cloud computing, and computer vision have been studied, pertaining to crop growth monitoring, disaster warning, and yield forecasts.
To demonstrate the developments in remote sensing for crop monitoring and modelling, this Special Issue aims to present new and innovative applications of remote sensing data, collected from various platforms and sensors. It also highlights novel mechanisms and data-driven methods, such as data fusion and artificial intelligence, to tackle the issues facing crop production. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Crop mapping using satellite observations;
- Crop growth monitoring using multimodal data fusion;
- Cloud computing applications in the remote sensing of agriculture;
- High-throughput acquisition of crop phenotypic traits;
- Crop biophysical and biochemical parameter retrieval;
- Crop yield forecasting;
- Crop disaster warning;
- Crop model and data assimilation.
Previously, we successfully published a Special Issue titled “Remote Sensing Applications in Crop Monitoring and Modelling”. We now therefore propose a second volume of this Special Issue for a broader range of applications. Scientists from across the world are invited to submit both original research and review articles on these topics.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
