Abstract in English:

In this paper, new concepts for continuous 24/7 real-time monitoring of plants and insects with miniaturized terahertz (THz) systems are described and experimentally tested. Thus, for the first time, small-scale insights into the instantaneous plant health but also in their long-term growth can be obtained. Using such compact THz systems, e.g. water uptake, insect infestation and the behavior of pollinators (i.e. honey bees) and pests can be measured dynamically and non-invasively at virtually any position in the close biotope surrounding them. In addition to general understanding, this can be used to optimize crop yield and reduce resource consumption as well as for identifying characteristics of insect-plant interactions induced by potential environmental stressors. Given such holistic a approach, the proposed concepts may provide a significant advancement in environmental monitoring technology.
