Abstract: In the article features of new portable biosensor devices of "Floratest" family for express-diagnostics of plant state in real time mode are described. The devices are developed and created in V.M.Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics of NAS of Ukraine. Today these devices are used in precision farming and environment monitoring, but new application of these devices is more challenging. Standard biosensor device can be used as part of data acquisition systems or independently, but all measurements are made in manual mode (several measurements per hour). The new one is wireless biosensor. The biosensors are integrated into sensor networks and used in precision farming and environment protection. Proposed wireless biosensors have significant differences from free-running devices. Wireless biosensors with radio transceivers are placed on test plants and data reading from set of plants is executed at the same definitive time by remote mobile computer or other mobile tools, for example, electric unmanned quadcopter. Due to it is possible to get hundreds of measurements from different parts of planted area or woodland. Implementation of proposed biosensor devices with radio channel and sensor networks on their base to agriculture and environment protection makes it possible to increase efficiency and quality of agricultural products, and spare fertilizers, water and energy resources, timely protect plants from infections and anthropogenic impact.
