RFID的最新进展为农业的研究、开发和创新提供了巨大的机会。本文的目的是让读者全面了解当前的应用和新的可能性，但也解释了这项技术的局限性和挑战。RFID已被用于动物识别和跟踪多年，在许多农场是一种常见的做法。它也被用于食品链的可追溯性控制。传感器在标签中的应用，使得监测易腐食品的冷链成为可能，并在环境监测、灌溉、特种作物和农业机械等领域开发新的应用。然而，这并不全是优点。在未来几年中，也有一些挑战和限制。在恶劣的环境中操作，包括污垢、极端温度;难以管理的大量数据;由于作物冠层中的传播导致信号强度降低，需要更长的阅读范围;不同频率的行为，了解每个应用程序的正确选择;标准的多样性和粒度水平就是其中之一。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The recent advances in RFID offer vast opportunities for research, development and innovation in agriculture. The aim of this paper is to give readers a comprehensive view of current applications and new possibilities, but also explain the limitations and challenges of this technology.RFID has been used for years in animal identification and tracking, being a common practice in many farms. Also it has been used in the food chain for traceability control. The implementation of sensors in tags, make possible to monitor the cold chain of perishable food products and the development of new applications in fields like environmental monitoring, irrigation, specialty crops and farm machinery.However, it is not all advantages. There are also challenges and limitations that should be faced in the next years. The operation in harsh environments, with dirt, extreme temperatures; the huge volume of data that are difficult to manage; the need of longer reading ranges, due to the reduction of signal strength due to propagation in crop canopy; the behavior of the different frequencies, understanding what is the right one for each application; the diversity of the standards and the level of granularity are some of them.
