Researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) have developed innovative sensors that can detect pH changes in plants. When plants experience drought stress (due to lack of water), their pH levels change. These sensors can pick up on those pH changes, giving early signs of drought stress. This technology helps farmers and gardeners notice drought stress before it causes significant harm to the plants, allowing them to take action sooner to protect their crops.
