Project description
This project applies a novel leaf microsensing technique to measure phylloclimate (leaf/air temperature, humidity, light, and leaf water pH) on apple and wheat. It quantifies dew-point, leaf wetness, and pH shifts, delivering unique data on biological compounds under controlled and field conditions, enhancing their efficacy and reliability in sustainable agriculture.
