Project runs from 07/01/2018 to 06/30/2020
$260,000
We will develop a microelectronics platform system to better understand the phenotypic expression of stress on palm trees and its relation to plant injury and red palm weevil (RPW) infestation. This is an interdisciplinary project integrating fabrication of sensors and wireless front- and back-end circuits to monitor and protect palm trees from RPW.
