Leaf Sensor

The video discusses a leaf sensor developed by Agrihouse with NSF support, which measures plant water needs by detecting leaf contraction. Originally intended for Mars missions, the sensor has significant Earth applications, reducing water usage by 25% in tests. It offers potential savings for farmers and greenhouse owners, with ongoing development of a wireless version. The technology aims to conserve water, a critical resource, by optimizing irrigation.
