Funded Activity Summary

Drought tolerance in sorghum: the roots of the solution. This project aims to develop an efficient, cost-effective sensing platform for visualising sorghum root systems in the field. Through innovative use of above and below ground sensing technologies, this project expects to generate new knowledge on the association between root structure and improved yield stability under drought stress. Expected outcomes include improved capacity for sorghum breeders and new digital agriculture products and services to support the industry more broadly. Given that sorghum is the main summer cereal grown in Australia, this should provide significant benefits, such as improved productivity and profitability for the Australian agriculture sector.
