Perspective-Electrochemical Sensors for Soil Quality Assessment

Soil monitoring is emerging as a key factor to manage smart farming which has been recommended to have economical food safety and security. Among various development for example internet of things assisted farming, electrochemical sensing system are getting popularity via detecting one or multiple soil component effectively, efficiently, and selectively for soil quality assessment remotely via data sharing and site of location just like point-of-care soil heath care. Considering scenarios, this perspective is designed to describe state-of-the art electrochemical sensing technology developed for soil quality. The associated challenges, possible alternatives, and potential prospects are also discussed in this perspective. (c) 2020 The Author(s).
