Scientists at Nanyang
Technological University Singapore Developed Technology
to Communicate with the Plants
The NTU research team created
a small device hydrogel size of 3 mm to attach on the surface of the plant
supposed to be harmless and did not effect to the process of photosynthesis of the plant. The electrical signal will bring about indicator
on how the plant responds to its environment and transmit it back to the plant.
It aims at detecting diseases in crops early and help farmers
find out when a disease is in progress. Professor Chen Xiaodong at NTU school of Materials
Science and Engineering said that the device to detect
electrical signal in the form of distress and abnormalities of the plants. The
finding expected to maximize crop yield for the population. (TI01/SN/28/Mar/21)
