Sensor applications are revolutionizing everyday objects, enhancing the quality of human life. In this special issue, our primary goal was to explore recent advancements in sensor applications within the field of agriculture, encompassing a diverse range of topics. This special issue comprises a total of 14 articles, including nine research articles, two review articles, and two technical notes. The key areas of focus include soil and plant sensing, farm management, and post-harvest applications. Soil-sensing topics encompass the monitoring of soil moisture content, drainage pipe tracking, and topsoil movement during harrowing processes. Plant-sensing topics involve the assessment of spray drift in vineyards, thermography applications for winter wheat and tree health assessment, as well as remote sensing applications. Additionally, contributions in farm management explore the digitalization of food systems and the utilization of archived data from plowing operations. Lastly, one article delves into post-harvest applications in sunflower seeds.
