Advances in Sensing Technologies for Smart Monitoring in Precise Agriculture

Abstract

The demand for a continuous increment of crop production reducing at the same time the impact on the used resources is a challenge that can be solved only exploiting the full potential of sensors technology applied in precise agriculture. In this review, we present the most recent advances in remote sensing technologies to be deployed in field and in greenhouses to monitor multiple key parameters such as air temperature, solar radiation, vegetative index, plant microclimate, soil feature, etc.
