The tree speaks
US researchers at the University of Boulder have created a tiny sensor on corn or potato. It can trigger an alarm when the plant is dehydrated and watering the irrigation system.
US researchers at the University of Boulder have created a tiny sensor on corn or potato. It can trigger an alarm when the plant is dehydrated and watering the irrigation system.
AgriHouse, led by Richard Stoner, has developed sensors from the RIFD chip. The company has been honored by the American Science Foundation (NSF) for its patents.
'We have developed a non-intrusive device that helps the tree' get in touch 'with the digital world. This device allows trees to communicate with humans, indicating their need for water and fertilizer, '' Stoner said.
According to the researchers, this technology can help the environment and reduce the number of days of irrigated plants, adapted to the needs of the plant.
The rest of the scientists are investigating whether the technology can be applied to all plant species if the installation of sensors is simple and inexpensive.
