Plants as intelligent sensors for precision agriculture
Plants are complex non-linear dynamical systems that interact with their environment. I propose that this interaction can be modelled by means of physical reservoir computing. A framework will be designed that captures embodied plant intelligence using a limited set of sensors. This framework
will then be employed to perform greenhouse climate control, optimising crop growth conditions for precision agriculture.
