CORVALLIS, Ore. - The "Ping Meter" looks a bit like a GPS -- for
crop nutrients.

one of these.

The "Ping Meter" --
Invented by horticulture professor emeritus Les Fuchigami and
former OSU doctoral student Pinghai Ding, the Ping Meter is a
handheld tool equipped with GPS that can easily, instantly and
non-destructively determine the chlorophyll, nitrogen and water
content of plant leaves, and show the results in a color-coded map.
The Ping Meter enables growers and researchers to monitor or "ping"
plant health status more precisely than currently available
equipment. This empowers growers to maximize their crop yield and
quality while minimizing pollution of the environment and use of
resources such as fertilizer and water. The venture fund grant will
allow the researchers to fine tune the meter's functions,
calibrating it to major crops and testing it in both the lab and
the field.
