Global Agriculture Sensors Market Definition

Agricultural sensors are called active sensors as they emit their source of light onto the crop canopy and simultaneously measure the percent of light reflected from the canopy back to the sensor. Precision agriculture, also known as , allows farmers to maximize yields using minimal resources. This is acquired by deploying agricultural sensors. These sensors help to understand their crops at a micro-scale, conserve resources, and reduce impacts on the environment. Many sensing technologies are exercised in precision agriculture, providing data that helps farmers in monitoring and optimize crops.

There are different types of agricultural sensors such as location sensors, , electrochemical sensors, and mechanical sensors. Mechanical sensors measure soil compaction or mechanical resistance. The sensors use a probe that breaches the soil and records resistive forces through the use of strain gauges or load cells. Optical sensors use light to measure soil properties. Optical sensors have been implemented to determine the organic matter, clay, and moisture content of the soil.

Agricultural sensors find their application in various platforms such as yield monitoring and mapping, soil monitoring, disease control, and detection, irrigation, and water management. The yield monitoring technologies offer valuable data about the yield ability that varies within the field. Numerous agriculture equipment has integrated these technologies with their harvesters and combined them to develop yield productivity. Agricultural sensors technology eliminates manual human efforts by automating crucial processes including real-time farm monitoring and information sharing. Agricultural sensors are predominantly used in eliminating nutrient depletion through monitoring & managing soil health.
