Description
Daisuke Sugiura and colleagues build a low-cost microcontroller system for measuring how crops use water. Their 2024 article addresses the need for higher-throughput ways to find varieties with better water-use efficiency.
The system combines pot weighing, automated water supply, and real-time monitoring over Wi-Fi. It was validated on rice, soybean, and maize under salt, waterlogging, and drought stress. Salt-tolerant rice kept using more water and growing better under salinity than sensitive rice. Waterlogged soybean used less water and grew less. Long experiments revealed efficiency differences between rice varieties and root-shoot changes in drought-stressed maize.
