Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing in agriculture has developed with a main focus on the evaluation of crop vegetation and production. Recent progress has focused more on the evaluation of crop production constraints. In addition to meteorological disasters such as droughts and floods, the evaluation of pests, diseases, and weeds is also important for crop production. Wide-area evaluations using low- to medium-resolution satellites are important from the perspective of food security, while farm- and field-level evaluations using high-resolution satellites or UAVs are important from the perspective of crop cultivation management.
This Special Issue aims to contribute further to the development of remote sensing for the evaluation of crop production constraints. The development of evaluation methods is the primary expected goal, but the evaluation results are also expected to be utilized. Remote sensing is now expected to be utilized to improve present agriculture.
All topics related to crop production constraints are welcome. The direct evaluation of constraints or the discrimination between growth and damage is strongly recommended. Further development beyond simple vegetation evaluation is now needed. In addition, evaluation methods for crop production constraints still need development and improvement, but special focus should be placed on proposals on how to utilize the evaluation results. How to effectively utilize remote sensing in actual agricultural fields is extremely important for future development. In this sense, precision farming and regional management are also included in the topics in this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
