NordPlant

New Nordic-Baltic Plant Phenotyping Network is launched 22 May!

Nordic-Baltic Plant Phenotyping Network (NBPPN) is a new network joining parts of NPPN and NordPlant together. 

Sign up for the online kick-off meeting 22 May here!

This network has just received funding from NKJ and will during its first year host a workshop in phenotype data handling and an annual meeting in Båstad, Sweden (preliminary dates 21-22 November).

Crop phenotyping by remote sensing and spectral analysis is rapidly developing and is becoming increasingly relevant for agriculture and plant breeding. There is clear need to keep both academic and private stakeholders informed about the development and to share experiences and knowledge – this is the core of the NBPPN.
