InnovPlantProtect has launched a website dedicated to the project “The word to the chestnut trees: educating them to know, protect and monitor them using IoT technology”. Meet the team and see all the information, background, details, and the various materials produced and now made publicly available.
As part of Science and Technology Week 2021, which runs until next Sunday, November 28th, InnovPlantProtect (InPP) is launching the website for the project “The word to the chestnut trees: educating to know, protect and monitor them through IoT technology”, co-financed by the European Commission. Environmental Fund and led by InPP in collaboration with Sabugal Town Hall (CMS).
The project consists of applying an experimental and innovative environmental education program, aimed at chestnut producers, CMS technicians and 12th grade students from the Sabugal School Group, and based on “Internet of Things” (IoT) technology.
In this context, InPP and CMS have installed two dozen TreeTalker sensors in chestnut trees in the parishes of Fóios and Soito, which will allow the trees to communicate their state of health, making it possible to remotely monitor physiological parameters such as water consumption, biomass growth, trunk humidity, absorbed solar radiation and canopy reflectance.
Find out more about the project “The word to the chestnut growers...”, sensor installation and educational activities. Discover all the resources already available online.
