Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
The main goal for the project is to test crops using the PathoScan Technologies Inc. prototype to validate the prototype's effectiveness in detecting crop diseases during the peak agricultural season. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:
- Understanding the functionality and technology of the prototype device.
- Working with producers to identify and select a variety of crops to test the prototype on.
- Conducting tests on the selected crops to detect any diseases using the prototype device.
- Analyzing the test results and comparing them to traditional lab testing methods.
- Providing a comprehensive report on the effectiveness of the prototype in crop disease detection.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, learners should complete the following tasks:
- A detailed understanding of the prototype device and its capabilities.
- Test results and analysis comparing the prototype's effectiveness to traditional lab testing methods.
- A comprehensive report outlining the findings and conclusions from the testing process.
Final deliverables should include:
- Test data and results.
- A report detailing the effectiveness of the prototype device in crop disease detection.
