Implementation
by gautam on July 23, 2007

Up till now the farmers were dependant on physical changes rather than chemical changes which occur quite late in case of a plant. As of now the prototype uses wires but the team of researchers is working towards using RFID. The sensor is affixed permanently to the leaf during the growing season for keeping a tab on the moisture content and chemical signatures so as to find out when the plant is under water stress. Earlier the farmers had to water their field everyday but now with this sensor system they would be required to water their fields only after thirty to forty hours. It seems nice to hear that after human beings RFID has also come to the rescue of plants.
