With the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and agriculture, agriculture has entered a new era of digitalization and intelligence. Integrated application of information technologies such as sensors, machine learning and Internet of things in specific agricultural production scenarios such as intelligent farms and greenhouses, enables managers to carry out accurate agricultural information perception, scientific quantitative decision-making, intelligent control of agricultural equipment and precise control of input. In 2021, The State Council issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Promoting Agricultural and Rural Modernization", which pointed out that "to establish and promote the application of agricultural and rural big data systems, to promote the Internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other new generation of information technologies to integrate deeply with agricultural production and operation, to construct digital countryside, digital irrigation areas and smart (animal husbandry, fishing) farms"

The report to the Party's 20th National Congress pointed out that "we should strengthen the support for agricultural technologies and equipment". In order to better help intelligent agricultural production and management, give full play to scientific and technological equipment, and promote the high-quality development of agriculture, this magazine plans to launch the special topic of "Agricultural information perception and control Technologies". He Yong, editor of the Journal and Director of the Digital Agriculture and Rural Research Center of Zhejiang University and distinguished Professor of Qiushi of Zhejiang University, is specially invited to serve as the editor of this topic. This paper is now open for contributions from experts, scholars, and researchers in related fields.
