ATM News Network: An Israel based tech company has developed an effortless simultaneous plant function measurements platform. The plantDitech an agriculture technology based company has developed a gravimetric platform to measure plant growth precisely.
The company has claimed that in efforts to create a better and accurate solution for understanding plants' dynamic behavior in examinations and advanced research, PlantDiTech developed the PlantArray platform. It is a a fully automated technology system that allows conducting research, continuous and simultaneous trials on every aspect of the whole-plant performance in real-time.
PlantArray, a high-throughput, multi-sensor physiological phenotyping gravimetric platform exclusively measures absolute transpiration, biomass, water-use-efficiency, and stomatal conductance measurements and accurately assesses the plants' productivity and growth rate automatically in very high spatial and temporal resolution (about 500 simultaneous readings a day), together with VPD and environmental sensing, beyond any human measurement possibility and with zero damage or influence on the plants measured.
Moreover, the PlantArray system also creates personalised soil-water conditions for each plant. Combined with the cloud-based software SPAC (Soil-Plant-Atmosphere-Continuum) Analytics developed by PlantDiTech, these perform real-time analysis and statistics to provide the fastest, most accurate data regarding plants' productivity and, consequently, accelerate research and administer endless possibilities to explore plants' growth predictions.
Company says that their phenotyping system provides a quantitative comparison of the plant response to different treatments and the precise prediction of plant growth and productivity in an efficient, easy-to-use, non-invasive manner.
