Remote sensing of crops

Some limitations in understanding and managing crop function arise from the challenges of measuring plants responses to their environment over time and space, as well as scaling our knowledge across various integration levels. To address this issues, we investigate the use of remote sensing tools, including spectroscopy, imaging sensors and drones, to improve our capacity for monitoring crops function at relevant scales, ranging from individual plants to entire fields.

This information has significant implications for disciplines such as high-throughput phenotyping in breeding programs and for enhancing empirical and mechanistic crop models, where integrating remote sensing data may lead to improvements in predictive capabilities.
