Crop yield potential in breeding trials can be captured using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based multispectral imagery. Several digital traits or phenotypes such as vegetation indices can represent canopy crop vigor and overall plant health, which can be used to evaluate differences in performance across varieties in crop breeding programs. This dataset contains agronomic data for named cultivars and breeding lines of spring-sown dry pea and chickpea, and over 275 multispectral images from advanced and preliminary breeding trials.
