Did you forget to water your table plant? It may send a distress signal soon enough.
It is reported that MIT engineers invented the sensor can be printed on the leaves of plants, the sensor will have a message once the plant is in a water shortage state. Michael Strano, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Chemical Engineering Institute who is also the inventor of the technology, introduced this technology to not only save neglected houseplants but more importantly is to warn crops when they are in danger.
"In agriculture, we can give the earliest instructions for a drought," Strano said. "You can hardly get this information in any other way. You can bury the sensor in the soil or do satellite imaging and mapping, but you will never get it Specific water status of a plant. "
Strano has started working with large agricultural producers to apply such sensors to crops. He believes the technology can also be used by gardeners and urbanized farmers. This, he believes, may also help researchers develop new ways to cultivate drought-resistant plants.
Volodymyr Koman, a MIT postdoctoral fellow, is also the lead author of the paper. The paper was published on November 8 in the journal Lab on a Chip.
