TT.VIII - Technical Parallel Track Sessions
Nanotechnologies for Plant Nutrition and Protection
Co-organized with CNR-IMM \| CNR-ISMN Chairs: Sebania LIBERTINO, CNR-IMM \| Rosaria PLUTINO, CNR-ISMN
The session on nanotechnologies for plant nutrition and protection presents innovative solutions to enhance crop health and sustainability in precision agriculture. It explores advanced fluorescent sensor arrays for early detection of pathogenic fungi, energy-efficient micro power storage systems for autonomous sensor networks, and a preliminary UV optical monitoring prototype for real-time field assessment. These cutting-edge approaches aim to improve plant protection, optimize resource use, and support smarter, more sustainable farming practices.
