Once developed, the system will be able to be utilized in any geography to help detect and prevent abiotic stress in row crops, saving growers significant time and resources while increasing plant health and yield opportunities. ![Identifying drought stress in corn with taranis platform.jpg](https://blog.agricen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Identifying%20drought%20stress%20in%20corn%20with%20taranis%20platform.jpg?width=600&name=Identifying%20drought%20stress%20in%20corn%20with%20taranis%20platform.jpg "Identifying drought stress in corn with taranis platform.jpg") A simulation of the abiotic stress detection platform that will be developed is shown in the image above, with red boxes outlining the signs of drought stress in corn. Based on the stress identified, appropriate recommendations can be made—including the use of [agricultural biostimulants](https://www.agricen.com/agricultural-biostimulants)—to both ameliorate the conditions causing stress and prevent further crop damage.   ***Learn more about Agricen's biostimulant technologies by downloading our [Biocatalyst Technology FAQ](https://info.agricen.com/biocatalyst-technology-faq-booklet). *** [![Download the FAQ](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/269648/23a726f4-afbe-4137-908e-b29a3b2b807b.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/269648/23a726f4-afbe-4137-908e-b29a3b2b807b) #### Listen to the Blog Post ### Topics: [Corporate & Community](https://blog.agricen.com/blog/topic/corporate-community#blog-listing) ,  [Ag Biologicals/Biostimulants](https://blog.agricen.com/blog/topic/ag-biologicals-biostimulants#blog-listing) ### Subscribe to Email Updates [ Watch Agricen’s Featured Videos ](https://blog.agricen.com/blog/agricen-and-taranis-awarded-grant-for-abiotic-stress-detection-prevention-project-heat-salinity-drought-stress#!) ![Blog-videos-thumb](https://blog.agricen.com/hubfs/Blog-videos-thumb.jpg) ### Sign Up for Agricen’s Blog to stay up to date on the latest news.
