Abstract

Plant diseases account for nearly one-third of annual global crop losses, making early and real-time detection essential for safeguarding agricultural productivity. Wearable technology has emerged as a promising real-time plant health monitoring approach that detects specific physiological and chemical changes associated with plant diseases or stresses. In this review, we highlight the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as noninvasive biomarkers for tracking plant health and diagnosing diseases. We explore the materials, fabrication techniques, and recent applications of wearable VOC sensors for the real-time monitoring of plant diseases and stresses. Finally, we discuss the current challenges in wearable VOC sensor development and future directions to improve their design, fabrication, and practical implementation. This mini-review aims to guide the advancement of wearable sensing technologies for sustainable agriculture and enhanced crop protection.

推进可穿戴VOC传感器：可持续农业和实时植物健康监测的路线图

植物病害占全球年度作物损失的近三分之一，因此及早和实时检测对保障农业生产力至关重要。可穿戴技术已经成为一种有前途的实时植物健康监测方法，可以检测与植物疾病或胁迫相关的特定生理和化学变化。在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）作为无创生物标志物在植物健康跟踪和疾病诊断中的作用。我们探讨了可穿戴VOC传感器的材料、制造技术和最新应用，用于植物病害和胁迫的实时监测。最后，我们讨论了当前可穿戴VOC传感器发展面临的挑战，以及改进其设计、制造和实际实施的未来方向。这篇综述旨在指导可穿戴传感技术在可持续农业和加强作物保护方面的发展。
