SupraSensor could be super tool for precision agriculture

The video discusses the development of a novel sensor by SupraSensor Technologies, which detects nitrate levels in soil to help farmers optimize fertilization. The sensor uses supramolecular chemistry to bind nitrate molecules, causing a fluorescence that is converted into an electrical signal. This technology aims to reduce overfertilization, conserve energy, and promote precision agriculture. The video highlights the sensor's potential to revolutionize farming practices and improve global food production efficiency.
