Abstract

Microwave techniques, methods and instrumentation can be utilized in agriculture to improve the efficiency of crop production, handling and processing, and improve the quality of products.  Pertinent microwave theory relative to such applications is discussed, and a review of microwave research on agricultural problems is presented.  A wide range of applications is treated briefly, including examples of successful applications of microwaves in agriculture, and some future prospects are discussed.
