Article Synopsis
- Energy efficiency analysis of cropping systems reveals important insights into non-renewable energy dependence, particularly in facultative rainfed wheat varieties in Central Europe.
- The study found that winter wheat consistently outperformed spring wheat in energy efficiency across two growing seasons, with minimal impact from nitrogen fertilization.
- Optimal nitrogen fertilization for energy efficiency was identified at 72.0 kg N/ha, with zero nitrogen showing the best performance metrics for energy use efficiency and productivity.
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) plays a crucial role in crop breeding improving the speed and precision of conventional breeding programmes by quickly and reliably identifying and selecting plants with desired traits. However, the efficacy of MAS depends on several prerequisites, with precise phenotyping being a key aspect of any plant breeding programme. Recent advancements in high-throughput remote phenotyping, facilitated by unmanned aerial vehicles coupled to machine learning, offer a non-destructive and efficient alternative to traditional, time-consuming, and labour-intensive methods.
