Towards in-field application of acoustic emissions in water-stress monitoring
Friday, Nov 6th, 12:20 - 13:20
ABSTRACT
The on-plant low-power sensing solutions become important in optimising water usage in precision irrigation of woody plants, especially in the karst regions. This workshop gives insights in recent achievements and future research and development for bringing plant acoustic emissions based water stress monitoring to the field use. The topic will be presented from different perspectives by members of an international interdisciplinary team of botanists, agricultural and electronic engineers, and nanotechnology experts collaborating within project SENSIRRIKA Advanced sensor systems for precision irrigation in karst landscape, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation.
