How Plant Biosensors, IoT, and AI Are Advancing Precision Agriculture

https://www.news-medical.net/life-sciences/How-Plant-Biosensors-IoT-and-AI-Are-Advancing-Precision-Agriculture.aspx Plant-wearable biosensors, IoT connectivity, and AI are shifting precision agriculture from reactive crop management to continuous, data-driven decision-making. Despite challenges related to sensor reliability, interoperability, and large-scale deployment, these technologies are laying the foundation for smarter irrigation, earlier disease detection, and more sustainable farming. Against the backdrop of ever-increasing climate instability and recent reports that predict a 70% global food demand increase by 2050, reviews assessing the state of modern agriculture emphasize that the most pressing need in the field is the development of transformative crop monitoring systems capable of detecting physiological stress before visible symptoms occur, thereby supporting earlier and more targeted interventions.1
