Plant Wearable Systems

“Plant Wearable Systems” focuses on developing thin, flexible sensors that can be placed directly on plants without affecting them. These sensors monitor the surrounding air and soil at a very detailed level, providing information that current bulky sensors cannot capture. By enabling plants to effectively “communicate” their condition, this technology supports smarter and more adaptive agriculture, helping improve crop production and respond to challenges such as climate change and population growth. “Plant Wearable Systems” aims to advance precision agriculture by introducing plant-wearable technology and connecting natural ecosystems with digital tools. It also strengthens scientific and innovation capacity by combining design, development, and real-world application of on-plant sensors. This interdisciplinary approach will lead to new methods and technologies for studying and managing plants more effectively.
