Even plants can run a fever, especially when theyre under attack by insects or

39、disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared ( 红外线 ) scanning technology developed for military purpose and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops

40、to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂 )spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest ( 害虫 ) problems. Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Service Company could detect crop proble

41、ms before they became visible to the eyes. Mounted on a plane flown at 3000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops.

42、ticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.

43、to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. This technology can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared

44、 crop scanning could be adopted by the end of decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.41.
