The majority of biosensors used in agricultural practice today are based on indirect sensing of environmental conditions and inference of plant parameters from measured environmental parameters. We applied a new approach, leading to a viable paradigm for future technology, in which the biosensor measures plant sensing directly.
Our biosensor is composed of amalgamated technology, comprising a biological component- the plant itself, and an electrical or optical component- a sensing modality which includes an array of electrodes connected directly to the plant.
The project will ultimately result in the production of an agriculture oriented Internet of Things (Agro-IoT) unit comprised of the biosensor and including the front-end, microprocessor, memory and communication, and power system. This will allow for real-time stress data integration in large settings.
