Abstract

Precision agriculture is advancing toward sustainable, need-based plant management using sensors, which offer real-time data on environmental and physical conditions. These sensors, classified as analog or digital (by output) and active or passive (by energy source), are widely applied in soil health, irrigation, nutrient management, pest control, yield forecasting, and toxin detection. Common types include optical, electrochemical, and nano-sensors like carbon nanotubes and quantum dots, valued for their high accuracy and efficiency. Sensors ultimately enhance precision, reduce environmental impact, and are pivotal in modernizing smart plant management
