How much would it be possible to save water, if we knew exact amount they really need it?
It may soon be possible.
Special leaf sensors have been developed, which can be used, for example, in agriculture, greenhouse production or elsewhere.
At present, up to 70% of the total fresh water in the planet is used in agriculture - it is a very large number.
If we knew exactly how much plants really need water, then wasting of water would no longer be a problem.
In the sampled fields, water usage decreased by up to 25% due to the use of leaf sensors, since water was only given when the plants really needed it.
