Abstract

Agriculture employs increasingly innovative techniques in search of optimize inputs, maximize profitability, and reduce environmental impact. An example of this is the emergence of Agriculture 4.0, in which sensors collect information through Proximal Soil Sensing. These methods, called photon-based methods, employ different electromagnetic radiation wavelengths to measure soil attributes and properties in situ or ex situ. National and international research institutions have produced knowledge and contributed to the training of professionals able to apply these new approaches in soil science. In this context, this review aimed to produce a synthesis of the main proximal soil sensing techniques and made it accessible to students, technicians, and researchers.
