An integrated methanol and terpene sensing platform for real-time VOC profiling of nitrogen-stressed cotton plants

Key Points

• VOC profiling indicates changes in nitrogen-stressed cotton plants, signaling stress levels accurately.
• Key evidence includes the detection of specific volatile organic compounds related to nitrogen deficiency.
• The integrated sensing platform combines methanol and terpene sensors for effective monitoring of plant stress.
• Implications highlight the potential for real-time agricultural monitoring, enhancing crop management practices.
