(Fox 2 News) Using Technological Advances to Increase Efficiency in Farming
Inside the crop stress monitoring technology reshaping modern farming
Fox 2 News highlights how modern farms are turning to research, technology, and drones to keep pace with growing food demand and increasingly unpredictable weather. Dr. Nadia Shakoor, principal investigator at the Danforth Plant Science Center, spoke with meteorologist John Fuller about her PheNode system. This field-based crop stress monitoring platform continuously monitors environmental conditions like rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind, soil health, and more to better understand crop stress and to inform farmers’ decision-making.
