Monitoring Yield and Quality of Forages and Grassland in the View of Precision Agriculture Applications—A Review by Abid Ali, Hans-Peter Kaul

“…To achieve this, the authors discuss several monitoring technologies for biomass and plant stand characteristics (including quality) that make it possible to adopt digital farming in forages and grassland management. The review provides an overview about mass flow and impact sensors, moisture sensors, remote sensing-based approaches, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and mapping field heterogeneity and promotes decision support systems (DSSs) in this field. …”
