Abiotic stresses like heat and drought continue to limit crop yields, but plants are already telling us how they cope, if we know how to listen. This study shows that by capturing in-situ plant biosignals, we can detect stress and estimate biomass very accurately.

Using our plant biosensors and their own machine learning analysis, the team in Canada which was partially funded by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, was able to classify stress conditions and explain up to 95% of variation in plant biomass. An incredible leap forward in rapid stress detection and precision agriculture.
