Dr Gerrit Polder will participate in two photonics workshops on Agri-Food.
He will present:
Title: ‘Photonics for measuring plant performance and disease detection’.
Short description: ‘Photonic technology enabled products are frequently used in the agri-food sector to optimize production, to safeguard harvests and to use water, energy and pesticides even more efficiently. The use of imaging and spectroscopy in agriculture and horticulture is a development that has been intensively researched in recent years. This presentation will give an overview of recent developments in which Wageningen University & Research is involved, including photonic technology used in the newly set up Netherlands Plant Eco-phenotyping Centre NPEC.’
