Trends in Digital Agriculture: Crop sensing technologies towards climate resilient agricultural systems
Trends in Digital Agriculture: Crop sensing technologies towards climate resilient agricultural systems
Session ID#: 74565
Session Description:
Crop sensing, big data, analytics, and machinery are driving a revolution in agriculture. Emerging trends in digital agriculture are at the base of more productive and sustainable agricultural systems through more precise and resource-efficient farming decisions. Key unknowns remain regarding how crops respond to biotic and abiotic stress both spatially and temporally, as well as how in-situ, and remote sensors can effectively measure those plant responses. In this session, we will explore the relative roles of plant physiology, phenology, microclimate, and canopy structure in determining crop water use, stress, growth and development influencing yield and quality. We are interested in field and modeling studies providing biological and physical insights using current and/or future proximal and remote sensing technologies to provide information critical to sustainable farming practices. Contributions may focus on a range of spatial and temporal scales, from seconds to decades and from the leaf to the globe.
