Modern IoT sensors for identifying soil features can be installed both in protected and unprotected ground. They provide data transmission with a given frequency via wireless communication channels. Sensors measure soil acidity, its conductivity, temperature, moisture, and other characteristics. The sensors have low power consumption and, as a result, they provide augment performance for a long time.

Widespread are N-testers - hand-held tools that enable carrying out measuring of growing crops right in the field very quickly. It is possible to see the level of nitrogen support during the growing season. N-tester also measures the chlorophyll content in the leaf in the infra-red band.

In combination with field zoning technology using satellite or Earth sensing data, the use of the N-tester provides an effective solution for creating maps for various application rates in the field.

The effectiveness of pheromone traps is based on the fact that they are as an indicator to determine the beginning of the breeding season of pests. Pheromone traps are used to control pest populations, including controlling the start of flying, monitoring seasonal dynamics, determining the population density of the pest, and, at last, alarming the time of agricultural pest control activities.
