The use of sensor technology in crop protection

The papers present a review of different sensory systems used in crop protection resulting in a decreased risk of environmental contamination, cost reduction and increased biological effect of pesticides. For this reasons, modern agricultural science and word trends begin to include sensor application in different ways of precision agriculture using ultrasonic, LIDAR and infrared sensors. In sensor approach, data collecting or GPS mapping it is not necessary, because real-time sensors read and accept the current situation in the field, and therefore determine the current dosage – variable rate technology (VRT). In modern agriculture sensors become a link between technological processes, agricultural machinery and computers. Daily development of sensors for agricultural processes will improve overall technology with reduced production costs, human labour and increased concern for agroecosystem.
