Vivent, a Swiss precision ag company, has developed biosensors capable of understanding what messages plants are trying to communicate.
These sensors are installed and remain in place permanently on long life crops. They’re solar powered and can identify multiple pieces of information.
“We have identified various signals, and they are mostly the plant talking to itself about the kind of stresses it’s experiencing,” Norm Janssen, a business development specialist with Vivent, told Farms.com.
