Abstract
A system for tracking plants includes electronic tags configured to conditionally respond to interrogation, the condition response corresponding to data stored in the tag and/or one or more environmental parameters corresponding to one or more plants.
Claims58
A method for identifying at least one plant having at least one attribute, comprising:
- transmitting a conditional response interrogation to at least one electronic tag associated with at least one plant, wherein the condition for the response includes an attribute corresponding to the at least one plant;
- and
- receiving at least one conditional response from a first electronic tag associated with at least one plant having the attribute.
An electronic tag for conditionally identifying at least one plant, comprising:
- an interrogation interface configured to conditionally respond to interrogation;
- operatively coupled to the interrogation interface, at least one of a memory circuit including data corresponding to at least one attribute of at least one plant or a sensing circuit configured to sense an attribute of at least one plant or a plant environment;
- and
- wherein the interrogation interface is configured to respond to a conditional interrogation if data from the memory circuit or the sensing circuit has a relationship to data specified in the conditional interrogation.
