System
Our defense systen contains three different: prevention, detection, and cure. So how do we connect this three part together to form an impeccable defense system? First, we plant the genetically modified potato in the farm to prevent the disease from infecting the whole farm in a short period of time. Secondly, we implement the soil based microbial fuel cell that can detect and report whether the potato is infected or not immediately, in case that the potato can’t fend of the disease. When the SMFC detects the disease, it will send an electric signal that can trigger the spraying system. The spraying system will then spray the environmentally friendly defensin that we produced automatically. Man power is not required in the whole process except planting the potatoes.
Also, the defense system will also connect to a phone app that we created, so that we can know whether the potatoes are healthy or not. The defense system is localized, socialized, and mobilized.
