Drone phenotyping reveals differences in cassava growth

All crop improvement activities ultimately depend on good phenotyping. With the qualitative and quantitative description of plant growth and development, crop researchers are able to isolate improved plant lines. In addition to manual ground phenotyping, CASS researchers from the Forschungszentrum Jülich (https://www.fz-juelich.de/ibg/ibg-2/EN/Staff/Shoot_Dynamics/Muller_Onno/Muller.html?nn=1454730) use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to study cassava...
