New information, communication and high speed processing and precision agriculture technologies have the potential to transform the agricultural industry. These technologies incorporate radio-frequency and microwave radiation into their systems. This book presents an overview of how these technologies are being used in agricultural systems. The main purpose of the book is to provide a glimpse of what is possible and encourage practitioners in the engineering and agricultural industries to explore how radio-frequency and microwave systems might further enhance the agricultural industry. The authors have extensive experience in agricultural and microwave engineering, instrumentation and communication systems. 606 $aAgricultural innovations 606 $aMicrowaves$xIndustrial applications 610 $aRadiofrequency, microwave, agriculture, heating, processing, innovation, sensing, radiofrequency identification, and communication. 615 0$aAgricultural innovations. 615 0$aMicrowaves$xIndustrial applications. 676 $a338.16 700 $aBrodie$b Graham$0869380 702 $aJacob$b Mohan V. 702 $aFarrell$b Peter 702 $aGolachowska$b Magdalena 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137391403321 996 $aMicrowave and radio-frequency technologies in agriculture$91940988 997 $aUNINA
