英文摘要：

Data communication is necessary for agricultural information management.Wireless data communication has an obvious advantage of simple design,low cost and high reliability.It could provide optimal solutions of data transmission for spatial distribution data collection,processing and control in agriculture.According to communication range,some typical examples of wireless data communication applied in agriculture are given,including farming data remote service and vehicles management in wide area,variable-rate irrigation and machinery management in local area,module-to-module within intelligent machine systems,robot operations and food production traceability in personal area.An overview on agricultural application of wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring and animal health monitoring is also presented in the paper.
