Collaborative project: Remote sensing assessment of drought and heat tolerance of wheat genotypes at selection sites with accompanying studies on rooting depth, root morphology and water balance. Subproject 2 (Phaenokopter)

Project


Project code: 2814600213, JKI-PB-08-1209
Contract period: 01.10.2014 - 31.05.2018
Budget: 286,562 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

Which criteria could find drought tolerant varieties by breeding? Can be determine these criteria by remote sensing with unmanned air vehicles? Have drought tolerant varieties special root system characteristics? A cooperation between Thünen-Institute of Agriculture, Julius Kühn-Institute of Crop and Soil Science and Strube Research want to answer these questions by the project 'Phaenokopter'.
