definition: Plant Stress Monitors measure measures plant health by determining the chlorophyll content of leaves. NASA also is seeking qualified U.S. companies to help further develop through exclusive or non- exclusive licenses a second device. That device, available for development between NASA and a commercial partner, is a portable video imager that determines plant health by measuring the reflected light of leaves to determine their chlorophyll content. The device gives the user an easy-to-read indication of the condition of plants being observed. Researchers at Stennis have constructed a prototype of each device and filed patent applications. The benefits of the new devices are their portability, easy use, low cost, adaptability and accuracy. The devices may be applied to such areas as agriculture, precision farming, horticulture, plant research, forestry, paper manufacturing, lawn care and other public and government activities.
