New methods for in-field measurement of plant root traits. We're looking forward to one day complementing our above ground (drone-based) measurements with below ground, for the whole picture. Excited to be supporting this research.

Thanks for hosting the event SmartSatCRC . Great action shot of the team pitching the use of earth observation satellites to track environmental weeds! #betterdata #betterdecisions #agtech #spacetech

So good to see! We're looking forward to another season working with a great team

Always a buzz at the start of a new season

Great looking trial of GRDC Root structure and function traits: Overcoming the root phenotyping bottleneck in cereals (UOQ2312-009RTX) at QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Queensland farm in Gatton, check us out @GRDC Grains Research Update – Goondiwindi with DPIRDWA CSIRO

We have a PhD scholarship to study plastic responses in the growth and function of wheat root systems and implications for yield and yield stability, apply at: study.uq.edu.au/study-options/… UQ News QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation

New PhD scholarship available with A/Prof Karine Chenu as part of the International Research Training Group for Accelerating Crop Genetic Gain Note - only citizens/permanent residents of Aust and NZ can apply study.uq.edu.au/study-options/…

🎓 PhD Scholarship Opportunity: Boost wheat productivity with ‘more crop per drop’! 🌾 Join UQ to explore genotypic variation in wheat and its impact on water efficiency under drought and heat. Work with top researchers in Australia & Germany. bit.ly/3T4oTMc

Helpful ecosystem map of aussie innovators

Great conditions for capturing plant traits at Pampas today.

A perfect sunny day for running an EMI survey at a wheat paddock in Billa Billa. 3D mapping of plant available water capacity in action. GRDC North UQ News QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation #PAWCMapping

Day four of field root phenotyping! It was definitely time for some home made baklava!! and a group photo with both CSIRO and QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation teams. We're seeking a better understanding of drought adaptive mechanisms in Australian barley by exploring root distribution ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding

Growing talent to feed the world: a new ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding Excited to announce we have started work! Full story on our website: predictive-breeding.org/news/1305-2/

Save the date!! Join us at the Tosari Crop Research Centre for our annual field day event.

Here is your chance to join a motivated team working to train the next generation of plant and animal breeders at the ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding. Are you the Senior Communications Officer? Apply via the link: bit.ly/4ekTdKO ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding

Environmental monitoring on the beautiful Caboolture River today. Laser scan capturing as-constructed earthworks, built to stabilise the river bank from erosion due to boat wash.

Great to see this initiative underway

This unique new building at #UQ has plant scientists excited 🌿 Its sealed grow rooms allow precise control over temperature, light & air quality to fast-track crop development and help farmers meet the challenges of a changing climate. brnw.ch/21wNrgN

High quality plant traits from advanced sensors. The image shows canopy temperature recorded for a wheat drought tolerance trial. Our validated protocols ensure sensor temperature is stable throughout the flight for dependable data across thosands of plots! #phenomics #AgTech
