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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Predictability in agriculture is about as hard to find as a needle in a haystack. When you’re trying to prevent pest and disease pressures from devastating your yield, your approach to crop management ...

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 ...
