Precision Agriculture (PA) along with Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are the main drivers of automation in the agriculture domain. PA uses specific sensors and software to ensure that the crops receive exactly what they need to optimize productivity and sustainability. PA includes retrieving real data about the conditions of soil, crops and weather from the sensors deployed in the fields. High-resolution images of crops are obtained from satellite or air-borne platforms (manned or unmanned), which are further processed to extract information used to provide future decisions. In this paper, a review of near and remote sensor networks in the agriculture domain is presented along with several considerations and challenges. This survey includes wireless communication technologies, sensors, and wireless nodes used to assess the environmental behaviour, the platforms used to obtain spectral images of crops, the common vegetation indices used to analyse spectral images and applications of WSN in agriculture. As a proof of concept, we present a case study showing how WSN-based PA system can be implemented. We propose an IoT-based smart solution for crop health monitoring, which is comprised of two modules. The first module is a wireless sensor network-based system to monitor real-time crop health status. The second module uses a low altitude remote sensing platform to obtain multi-spectral imagery, which is further processed to classify healthy and unhealthy crops. We also highlight the results obtained using a case study and list the challenges and future directions based on our work.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19173796","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,3]],"date-time":"2019-09-03T03:06:14Z","timestamp":1567479974000},"page":"3796","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":685,"title":["Precision Agriculture Techniques and Practices: From Considerations to Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7131-5531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uferah","family":"Shafi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Science and Technology (NUST), School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0966-3957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafia","family":"Mumtaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Science and Technology (NUST), School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2985-3480","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Garc\u00eda-Nieto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Languages and Computer Sciences, Ada Byron Research Building, University of M\u00e1laga, 29016 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8572-7377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Syed Ali","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Science and Technology (NUST), School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed Ali Raza","family":"Zaidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7057-952X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naveed","family":"Iqbal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Science and Technology (NUST), School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mumtaz, R., Baig, S., and Fatima, I.
