Focus Area 2

Ecological Interactions Among Plants

Scientific Hypothesis

  • Combinations of crop, tillage, sowing, and cutting/pruning can maintain the yield and effectively control weeds
  • A 3D canopy-root model can predict above and below competition between cash and service crops, and weeds
  • Above- and below-ground competition can be managed using sensing and operating robots

Aims

  • Identify optimal combinations of crops, tillage, sowing, and cutting/pruning
  • Validate 3-D competition model
  • Develop real-time robotic systems for monitoring and interventions
