PhyTech Technologies is the world leading
company in the area of Phytomonitoring and the
only company that offers more than 30 types of
sensors for various uses such as: plant
sensors for recording growth rate and sap-flow
as well as climate sensors for recording
temperature, humidity and radiation. The
Phytomonitoring system enables determination
of the plants' growing needs and is suitable
for all cultivated plants - flowers,
vegetables, fruit trees, open-field crops,
etc.
Phytomonitoring is a functional
computerized technology for examining and
analyzing real-time situations as well as the
long-term development of plants. Positioned
between the grower and the cultivated plants,
the Phytomonitoring system provides the grower
with essential information about the plants'
physiology and growing conditions. Based on
this information, more accurate decisions can
be formed, ultimately bringing about higher
production and better quality.
Phytek Technologies has developed a new
technology which will serve scientists taking
part in an international research project
investigating the influence of the earth's
warming on plant development in agriculture
and in nature. The Israeli company has just
completed the development of a system which
will enable examining the influence of
external factors (radiation, soil moisture,
temperature, and elements in the sky) on the
process of plant photosynthesis. The system,
called PM-48, will be used by a group of
scientists from Israel, Japan and Turkey, led
by Prof. Yiftah Ben-Asher of the Institute for
Desert Research of the Ben-Gurion University
of the Negev. The research is being conducted
in several regions of the world for the
purpose of building models showing the
influence of the earth's warming on the
various components of life's aspects in
agriculture and nature in the coming decades.
The Israeli company's development includes
installed end-user units which supply
information on plant activity in field
conditions. This will enable the scientists to
understand the processes which have many
implications on the future survival of mankind
on the planet Earth.
