Cotton Phenotyping Using Field and Uav-Based Sensors.

Plant phenotyping is the quantitative determination of plant traits. Effective plant phenotyping methods should be able to identify plant growth characteristics with accuracy and precision. These techniques are usually noninvasive and allow researchers to analyze the quantitative and qualitative traits associated with interaction of genotypes with the environment. The overarching goal of this project is the development of standardized phenotyping procedures to identify high yielding and drought tolerant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum ) cultivars in South-Central Texas using field-based and unmanned aeral vehicle-based methods. Results from this study will be presented at the meeting.
