Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many kinds of advanced spectroscopic sensing techniques are applied to agricultural sectors to grasp the bio/food/agricultural information, and Sensor Network or IoT is used in various aspects in such fields. In addition, several types of distributed data sets are easily available on the Internet. Additionally, spectroscopy offers a highly sophisticated way of performing diagnosis of crop vigor, quality control of agricultural products, investigating chemical purity levels within the soil, maximizing harvest supplies, analyzing fertilizer properties and much more. Therefore, spectroscopic sensing method could play an important role for sustainable food production in various agricultural sectors. This special issue is planned to overview the frontlines of the spectroscopic researches for advanced agriculture and tries to glimpse of science-based and data-driven agriculture in the near feature.
