To accelerate the pace of precision agriculture and broaden its application, it is quite important to develop
multifunctional sensors with high efficient, stable and inexpensive features. This paper mainly summarized the working
principles of new type sensors and their application in agriculture, such as biosensor, electronic tongue, electronic nose and
machine vision, etc. And then, the particular demands of each agricultural stage for sensors also have been discussed,
including production, processing, storage, transportation and distribution. Finally, the future direction of agricultural
monitoring sensors was prospected. |
