Estimating small-grain cereal plant density at early growth stages using leaf tip density dynamics derived from submillimeter-scale RGB imagery

2025 · Arvalis

Plant density is an important variable for management and phenotyping of small-grain cereal crops such as wheat and barley. While many image-based estimation methods exist to replace laborious manual counting, most of them rely on empirical relationships that may not generalize well to different sites, growth stages, species and varieties.
