DID YOU KNOW?!?! The "Internet of Plants" (IoP) refers to a network of sensors and technology used to monitor and manage plant health and the environment around them, enabling insights and potentially autonomous crop management, similar to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). (Summary Below) 👇 Delft University of Technology Sensors in agriculture towards an Internet of Plants Steeneken, Peter G.; Kaiser, Elias; Verbiest, Gerard J.; ten Veldhuis, Marie Claire Publication date 2023 Document Version Final published version Published in Nature Reviews Methods Primers https://t.co/XgLlryt9wj • Sustainable agriculture requires increased productivity, climate resilience, and optimized resource use. • Dense wireless sensor networks, forming an Internet of Plants (IoP), offer significant potential to achieve this by providing real-time data on environmental and plant physiological parameters. • While sensor technology is advanced, agricultural adoption lags. • IoP networks, using low-cost sensors measuring environmental factors (temperature, humidity, CO2) and plant physiology (sap flow, stem diameter), coupled with control systems, can improve crop management. • Potential solutions involve installing sensors on posts, crops, or using biodegradable modules. • Mobile robots or drones offer another approach, though limitations exist. • Effective use of IoP data to improve crop yield requires collaboration among scientists and engineers. • Comprehensive studies using dense sensor networks are needed to determine the predictive value of various sensors. • Future IoP implementations will involve sensor technology maturation and integration with control strategies to optimize crop yields, leading to customized agricultural sensor solutions. • paper also includes a partial citation referencing cherry tomatoes.
