Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of intelligent sensing technologies is revolutionizing agriculture, enabling precise environmental monitoring, resource optimization, and sustainable practices. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge innovations in next-generation sensors, including nanobiosensors, self-powered sensing, and AI-driven IoT systems, tailored for green and smart farming. We invite contributions on topics such as the following:
- Real-time crop health monitoring;
- Automated irrigation;
- Pest detection;
- Energy-efficient data transmission;
- Energy harvesting and self-powered wireless sensing.
Emphasis is placed on applications that enhance yield, reduce waste, and minimize environmental impact. Original research, reviews, and case studies addressing challenges such as sensor deployment in diverse terrains and integration with smart farming platforms are welcome. Join us in exploring transformative solutions for a sustainable agricultural future.
Dr. Xinqing Xiao
