Crops utilize carbon dioxide (CO 2) through photosynthesis to create organic matter, with enhanced photosynthetic rates crucial for meeting global food demands. While crop phenomics has focused on ...

As climate change puts greater and greater stressors on crops, precision agriculture – which pursues lower inputs and higher yields – is a booming market, poised to reach nearly $13 billion by the ...

To help researchers better predict high-yielding crop traits, a team have stacked together six high-powered, machine learning algorithms that are used to interpret hyperspectral data -- and they ...

Weather conditions significantly affect corn yields. While weather remains as the major uncontrolled variable in crop production, an understanding of the influence of weather on yields can aid in ...

A research team has developed an innovative method to quantify wheat uniformity using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging technology. This method estimates leaf area index (LAI), SPAD, fractional ...

Scientists have trained an AI algorithm to count the number of flowers on fruit trees using only smartphone images. The system could predict the size of a harvest months in advance — saving farmers ...
