PHENOTYPING

In-field characterization of plants, growing in the natural environment under controlled treatments, using a basic non-destructive plant height, temperature, and color, "tri-metric" core phenotyping continuous measurement approach, aboard a geo-referenced mobile platform, informs our USDA ARS ALARC Plant Group phenomics research as a field phenotyping technical method in rapid electronic proximal sensing irrigated agricultural crops, all beneath a bright Arizona sun, on the University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural Center farm USA, and in collaboration with a talented community of interested researchers, professionals and students... Maricopa Phenotyping, FB-HTP, involves close range electronic "tri-metric" measurements of irrigated crops for proximal terrestrial sensing of plant growth.
