but communication via radiowaves is obviously impacted when soil is in the way. Although there are ways to get around this, a 2022 paper by Maja Škiljo and colleagues in Sensors covers an ...

But in practice, solar has issues, the prime one being that the plants need the sun more, and will quickly shade out low-profile soil-based sensors. That’s why [Spyros Daskalakis] eschewed PV ...

At 2.3 inches tall (5.3 inches from bottom to tip), when stuck in the soil, the sensor won't stick out like a sore thumb. Best budget Sometimes the topsoil appears wet, but deeper down ...

Digitized soil sensors implanted in fields where crops are grown could help farmers make timely decisions about where and when to add fertilizer and pesticides, maximizing yields as global demand ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated an autonomous robotic field ...

Researchers are designing a cheap soil sensor that can easily be tilled over at the end of the growing season while ... so the unused excess doesn’t wash into nearby water sources. Or growers could ...

Kansas State University researchers have received a $2 million award from the National Science Foundation’s Global Centers program to develop sensors that can more accurately detect nutrients ...

To help her and others who worry about their lack of green fingers, there has been a growth in the sale of hi-tech sensors for indoor plants - devices that you push into the soil next to them.

Soil carbon can be difficult ... a custom robotic platform, called the Sensors, Machine vision, Automation and Robotics for Transforming Plants Field Series (SMART Plant F-Series) and successfully ...

You stick them into the soil around your plant and the app gives you insights on that particular plant. Obviously it acts as a moisture sensor, but Flora Pod can also diagnose plant problems ...
