1. Toward Smart Soybean Variety Selection Using UAV-based Imagery and Machine LearningThe efficiency of crop breeding programs is evaluated by the genetic gain of a primary trait of interest, e.g., yield and resilience to stress, achieved in one year through artificial selection of advanced breeding materials. Conventional breeding programs select superior genotypes using the primary trait (yield) based on combine harvesters, which is labor-intensive and often unfeasible for single-row progeny trials due to their large population, complex genetic behavior, and high genotype-environment...

2. Develop Portable Near-infrared Sensing Devices for Rapid Seed Moisture Measuring in Grass Seed CropsTo maximize harvest efficiency and seed yield, it is essential to harvest seed crops at appropriate timing. Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and harvest timing in grass seed crops. Currently, to determine the SMC of a particular field, a minimum sample of 30 to 50 seed heads has to be collected from representative areas of the field and measured by wet and dry weights to calculate the SMC. The seeds must be either oven dried, microwave dried, or placed... J. Zhou |
