Digital twins in plant breeding - Rick van de Zedde - Seed Valley Talks

Rick van de Zedde, working at Netherlands Plant Eco-phenotyping Centre at WUR shows us in this Talk why we grow tomatoes, digitally.

Phenotyping plants costs hours, this means there is a lot of brainpower wasted. At Wageningen University & Research they develop vision technology specifically for this measurement. The next step is to develop digital twins. What would we gain if we grow plants virtually? It becomes possible to predict how plants grow under different circumstances.

About Seed Valley
Seed Valley in the northwest of the Netherlands is the world’s leading centre of plant breeding and seed technology. It is home to dozens of innovative companies that work on the development of new vegetable and flower varieties. We develop crops that, among other things, give higher yields, are resistant to diseases, or taste better. We use as little space, energy, and water as possible: more with less, in other words. #seedvalleytalks #svtalks #bigdata #plantscience #sdg #online #rickvandezedde #digitaltwins #DNA #pathogens #wur
