Brief Project Summary:

Research focus is to implement and deploy a phenotyping platform that will accelerate soybean improvement by facilitating repeated, rapid, accurate, non-destructive plant measurements. The optimized platform will be available to Missouri soybean researchers conducting experiments ranging from crop management to fundamental genetics for many years to come.

The outcome of this project is a sensor platform for MO soybean researchers that can be deployed using a high-clearance tractor to rapidly assess plant height, canopy temperature, canopy light-use characteristics, and select 3D canopy characteristics. This platform now is available for MO soybean researchers and its use is expected to accelerate and improve data collection for a broad range of projects, including agronomic, physiological, and genetic research.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
