Members of the Climate Crops Centre participated in a workshop on ‘Application of sensors and image analysis as tools for plant phenotyping’ organised by the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture (Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible, IAS-CSIC) in Cordoba, Spain (October 25th and 26th, 2023). Dr. María Leire Molinero Ruiz and her colleagues from IAS delivered lectures covering various topics related to sensors and plant phenotyping.
The workshop agenda featured a diverse range of topics, including proximal sensing of plant diseases, remote sensing for plant trait quantification using hyperspectral imagery, thermal information utilisation for assessing crop water status in orchards, mapping soilborne plant pathogen incidence in a changing climate through remote sensing and aerosol transport modeling, high-throughput phenotyping tools for breeding and agronomy research, as well as the genetic dissection of yield in wheat grown in Andalusia.
The Climate Crops Centre members visited the Laboratory for Research Methods in Quantitative Remote Sensing, the Laboratory of Phenomics and Digital Agronomy (AgroPhenoLab), and the Laboratory for Seed Phenotyping.
The workshop is organised within the CROPINNO project (HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-02-01: Stepping up Scientific Excellence and Innovation Capacity for Climate-Resilient Crop Improvement and Production – CROPINNO, Grant Agreement No. 101059784).
