Sensors in Crop Production -Foreword

摘要

The non-destructive detection of the development status of vegetation is possible with the help of online sensors in the field. More and more manufacturers now offer a variety of different systems that have been developed primarily for the site-specific fertilization. Best known are the so-called "nitrogen-sensors" that are supposed to measure the nutritional status of the plants and then adjust the fertilization needs. In addition to the supply of nutrients, there are still a number of other potential applications for sensing in crop production.
