Abstract
A method of assessing a state of a plant is provided. The method includes: (a) collecting data pertaining to at least one plant related parameter over a predetermined time period; and (b) analyzing the data collected over the predetermined time period to thereby identify a trend in the data over at least a portion of the predetermined time period, the trend being indicative of the state of the plant.
Claims28
A method of assessing a state of a plant comprising:
- (a) collecting data pertaining to at least one plant related parameter over a predetermined time period;
- and
- (b) analyzing said data collected over said predetermined time period to thereby identify a trend in said data over at least a portion of said predetermined time period, said trend being indicative of the state of the plant.
A system for assessing a state of a plant comprising:
- (a) at least one sensor positioned on, or in proximity to, the plant, said at least one sensor being for collecting data pertaining to at least one plant related parameter;
- and
- (b) a user client being in communication with said at least one sensor, said user client being for receiving and optionally analyzing said data collected from said at least one sensor over a predetermined time period to thereby identify a trend in said data over at least a portion of said predetermined time period, said trend being indicative of the state of said plant.
A method of assessing a state of a crop comprising:
- (a) selecting a first plant, said first plant being representative of the crop;
- (b) collecting a first set of data pertaining to at least one plant related parameter of said first plant over a predetermined time period;
- and
- (c) analyzing said first set of data collected over said predetermined time period to thereby identify a trend in said first set of data over at least a portion of said predetermined time period, said trend being indicative of a state of said first plant and thus the state of the crop.
1 more element
A method of assessing the state of a crop comprising:
- (a) co-cultivating a first plant with a crop of a second plant, said first plant being more sensitive to a change in at least one environmental factor or an infection by a pathogen than said second plant;
- and
- (b) monitoring at least one parameter associated with said first plant to thereby assess the state of said crop.
