How do remote sensors collect data from plants and soil? | E-Agriculture

In agriculture, remote sensors are commonly used to gather data about plants and soil. They are placed above the object, or target, to collect data that is often otherwise undetectable. In addition, sensors can collect data from large areas very quickly with relatively short collection intervals, thus reducing the amount of time spent manually collecting data. This technology is facilitating growers’ adoption of more precise agricultural strategies, which optimize input decisions for the best time, place, and amount.
