ATTRACT Conference presentation

Current status of NextMR-IAA progress

  1. Automatic, research grade MR camera system with Ultra HD camera module operational
  2. Automatic cost effective MR camera system for use in agronomy horticultural industry prototyped
  3. Wavebands beyond VIS for advanced root segmentation and soil moisture determination identified via hyperspectral imaging
  4. Convolutional neural network based, automatic total root length measurement in noisy rhizosphere images (with low error rate, reduced training input) achieved

Future applications

We are confident that we can demonstrate a range of highly interesting applications of the developed technology in a second phase of the NextMR-IAA ATTRACT project, e.g. 

Science The next generation MR system will facilitate information on root system

development and turnover particular enhancing the scientific understanding of plant

functioning and ecosystem C dynamics by improving image quality ( and wave

bands beyond VIS spectra) and temporal resolution of MR camera systems

Agronomy The automated, cost efficient MR camera system in combination with

automated analysis of rooting depth and density will enable farmers to base irrigation

and fertilization on root system development, increasing resource use efficiencies and

allowing to reduce e g water infiltration nitrate leaching below the rooting zone In

addition, the technology has the potential to detect root diseases and parasites before

above ground signs become visible

Plant breeders Integrating the automated root system monitoring tool

into plant breeders toolbox will facilitate genotype selection for target environments

improving yield and yield stability

Turf grass industry / Urban forestry Monitoring turf root tree root

establishment and maintenance procedures (sport grounds roadside trees) will provide

evidence based answers to liability questions

Society Benefits for society are in particular better estimations of global ( C budgets

and more sustainable agricultural production systems (particular improving water and N,P

fertilizer use efficiencies, reducing groundwater pollution)
