Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central
As plant breeding evolves, the tools used to measure traits and support selection must evolve with it. In this webinar, we will explore how cost-effective, scalable, and interdisciplinary solutions, ranging from UAV-based imaging and portable NIR spectroscopy to open-source software, IoT integration, and 3D-printed hardware, can overcome traditional barriers to adoption. Emphasizing co-design between breeders and engineers, the presentation highlights strategies for balancing affordability with data quality, and showcases real-world examples of low-cost, high-impact phenotyping platforms.
