Thanks to a special micro-pot equipped with modern technology, it will enable to examine the quality of seeds and assess what plants will grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The micro-pot, designed in the department of microsystem electronics and photonics, is 20 mm high, 10 mm wide and 5 mm thick. It can test the plant&#8217;s ability to be at maximum productivity. It works by measuring the forces exerted by the roots and stems on the sensors placed in the pot with high accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>The structures responsible for measuring the force are beams with a thickness of 200 to 600 micrometers. The whole thing is printed in 3D technology, so the micro- pots can be adjusted to any seed size. The seed sample test takes approximately 5 days depending on the germination period.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists are planning to use biodegradable materials so that the micro- pots can be planted together with the seed in the ground, providing it with additional nutritional value.<\/p>\n<p>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/pwr.edu.pl\/uczelnia\/aktualnosci\/czy-z-ziarna-wyrosnie-dorodna-roslina-sprawdzi-to-mikrodoniczka-z-w12-11703.html\">https:\/\/pwr.edu.pl\/uczelnia\/aktualnosci\/czy-z-ziarna-wyrosnie-dorodna-roslina-sprawdzi-to-mikrodoniczka-z-w12-11703.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists of the Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology have developed device for assessing the potential of plants.
