Sensing Technology in Smart Agriculture
This special issue belongs to the section “Sensor Networks“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of the IoT and Smart Agriculture, sensors and sensing technology are the key points to future information acquisition, big data processing, and smart decision-making applications. Agricultural sensors are vital to the development of agricultural digitization, informatization, and intelligence. They are an important support for solving the first kilometer data resource of agricultural information for soil, plant, air, and water products. Sensors are of great significance to the green, ecological, and sustainable development of world agriculture.
This Topical Collection is addressed to all types of sensors and applications for the agricultural field, including soil, plant, air, water and agricultural products.
