Multimodal probe based on ISFET electrochemical microsensors for in-situ monitoring of soil nutrients in agriculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the design of a silicon chip dedicated to the in-situ monitoring of soil nitrogen cycle in wheat crop. Our study shows that ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) microsensors are suitable for quick on-site or long-term analysis of nutrients measured directly in soil as opposed to soil extracts analysis. Our pH-ISFET recorded soil pH for six months with results in good accordance with standard sampling method and without any loss of sensitivity. The adaptation of pH-ISFET in pNO3 and pNH4-ISFET allowed, for the first time, the in-situ measurements of natural variations of soil nitrogen contents caused by microorganisms’ activity

ISFET Based Microsensors for Environmental Monitoring
The use of microsensors for in-field monitoring of environmental parameters is gaining interest due to their advantages over conventional sensors. Among them microsensors based on semiconductor technology offer additional advantages such as small size, robustness, low output impedance and rapid response. Besides, the technology used allows integration of circuitry and multiple sensors in the sa...
متن کاملA Miniature Integrated Multimodal Sensor for Measuring pH, EC and Temperature for Precision Agriculture
Making several simultaneous measurements with different kinds of sensors at the same location in a solution is difficult because of crosstalk between the sensors. In addition, because the conditions at different locations in plant beds differ, in situ measurements in agriculture need to be done in small localized areas. We have fabricated a multimodal sensor on a small Si chip in which a pH sen...

The foliar diagnosis can be considered as a useful tool to assess the nutritional status of plants. The diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (DRIS) has been developed for this purpose. In this study DRIS norms were determined for wheat plant (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Moghan region, northwest of Iran. A data bank created from nutrients concentrations of flag leaf and yield was use...
