In this paper, new concepts for continuous 24/7 real-time monitoring of plants and insects with miniaturized terahertz (THz) systems are described experimentally tested. Thus, the first time, small-scale insights into instantaneous plant health but also in their long-term growth can be obtained. Using such compact THz systems, e.g. water uptake, insect infestation behavior pollinators (i.e. honey bees) pests measured dynamically non-invasively at virtually any position close biotope...
Mining has led to soil contamination with heavy metals in numerous regions. This not only affects large-scale food cultivation but also concerns individuals who grow their gardens. Hence, there is a critical requirement develop efficient and reliable methods for studying monitoring plant exposure these harmful substances. Currently, researchers rely on complex time-consuming laboratory procedures that entail destructive sampling examine metals. method expensive suitable extensive monitoring....
The issue of soil pollution and the subsequent contamination plants with heavy metals has become an increasingly pressing concern for food safety human health in industrialized nations. This can have detrimental effects on individuals who consume these plants, as such, it is important to find reliable efficient ways study monitor exposure harmful substances. Until recently, methods used plant relied intricate laboratory procedures that often involve destruction a portion plant. make process...
The pollution of soil and the resulting contamination plants with heavy metals is a growing concern for, food safety human health in industrialized countries. Until now, exposure studied by means complex procedures laboratory, which part plant destroyed. In this study, we demonstrate non-destructive method using Terahertz spectroscopy to detect metal accumulation leaves A. halleri.
