Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have observed growing interest in the application of remote sensing in agriculture, offering novel opportunities to enhance crop production and yields and reduce environmental impact. Thanks to remote sensing, it is possible to monitor the phenological state of crops and detect pests and diseases, water requirements, and other factors that determine their production. However, we still need to work on analyzing and interpreting remote sensing data so that they can be used more effectively.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to combine original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in crop growth monitoring.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Crop modelling;
- Crop growth modelling;
- Processing of remote sensing data for agronomic information;
- Artificial intelligence-based platforms;
- Statistical methods to identify and evaluate the different factors affecting crop growth based on remote sensing data;
- Use of remote sensing data to identify crop growth and the factors affecting it;
- Machine learning applications in agriculture based on remote sensing.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
