description To face the increasing requirement for grains as the global population continues to grow, improving both crop yield and quality has become essential. Plant health directly impacts crop quality and yield, making the development of plant health-monitoring technologies essential. Variable sensing technologies for outdoor/indoor farming based on different working principles have emerged as important tools for monitoring plants and their microclimates. These technologies can detect factors such as plant water content, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hormones released by plants, as well as environmental conditions like humidity, temperature, wind speed, and light intensity. To achieve comprehensive plant health monitoring for multidimensional assessment, multimodal sensors have been developed. Non-invasive monitoring approaches are also gaining attention, leveraging biocompatible and flexible sensors for plant monitoring without interference with its natural growth. Furthermore, wireless data transmission is crucial for real-time monitoring and efficient farm management. Reliable power supplies for these systems are vital to ensure continuous operation. By combining wearable sensors with intelligent data analysis and remote monitoring, modern agriculture can achieve refined management, resource optimization, and sustainable production, offering innovative solutions to global food security and environmental challenges.
