Project: LeafSpec: A Handheld Corn Plant Growth/Nutrient/Yield Meter With Sensor Technologies Developed at Purdue University.
Working together with a smartphone App, the sensor precisely measures a corn plant’s growth and nutrition status within a few seconds, and generates the nitrogen, drought, and yield prediction maps of your farm field if you take measurements at multiple locations. Right, you don’t necessarily need a drone to get your field's nitrogen map!
• Quick
• Precise
• Measures Leaf Moisture, Nitrogen, Chlorophyll Content, etc.
• Special Stress/Disease Measurement can be Customized and Added to the Software
• Generate Nitrogen, Drought and Yield maps AND, YOU Own all the Data!
