The sensor uses special light technology. It sees things our eyes cannot see. It detects small changes in plant leaves. These changes show if a plant is stressed. Stress might mean disease or thirst. The sensor sends data to a computer. Farmers see maps of their fields. The maps show healthy areas and problem areas.
This helps farmers act quickly. They can water only the dry spots. They can treat only the sick plants. Farmers save water and chemicals. They use less fertilizer too. This saves money. It also helps the environment. Crops grow better overall. Farmers get more food from their land.
Sony worked with agriculture experts on the sensor. They tested it on real farms. The tests showed good results. Farmers could find problems faster. They made better choices about their crops. Sony believes this tool is important for the future of farming. Food demand keeps growing. Farmers need smart tools.
