Abstract
Chlorophyll fluorescence sensing technology, with its increasing application in smart agriculture, is particularly impactful in agricultural cultivation, aquaculture, and food monitoring. This technology reflects the physiological state of plants and environmental changes in real-time, based on the fluorescence response in photosynthesis of plant leaves. With high sensitivity, real-time monitoring, and non-destructive detection, the technology becomes an important monitoring tool in smart agriculture. In agricultural cultivation, chlorophyll fluorescence sensing technology can assess the efficiency of crop photosynthesis, providing real-time data support for precision agriculture. Furthermore, this technology contributes to detecting potential problems, such as water stress and pests and diseases to optimize agricultural management. In aquaculture, the technology can be used for water quality monitoring and assessment of algal growth status, promoting the fine management of the aquaculture environment. For food monitoring, chlorophyll fluorescence sensors can realize real-time detection of food quality and safety by analyzing the fluorescence characteristics of plant components. This review analyzes the application of chlorophyll fluorescence sensing technology in smart agriculture, discusses its technical advantages, application limitations, and challenges, and elaborates on its potential to promote sustainable agricultural development.
