track and perform “smart dosing” of
nutrients and other analytes
Sensors for agriculture, aquaculture, and algae
The Qube integrates biosensor data, including in-line nutrient measurements, with audio and video signals to perform broad monitoring of agricultural operations.
What are the advantages of this platform?
Continuous, automated sensing
Customizable to detect desired targets
Reduce labor and increase sampling frequency
Increase resource efficiency and crop output
Reduce nutrient runoff and improve water quality
Potential Applications in Agricultural Sensing:
Algae Production: Dose nutrients, metals, and other inputs according to pond status
Aquaculture: Manage nutrients, optimize recycling of water, and detect off-flavors such as Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB)
Agriculture: Monitor nutrient runoff, optimize fertilization needs, maximize crop production, monitor pesticides, and detect harmful bacterial contamination
