Drone-Based Physiological Phenotyping: A New Era for Plant Physiology Research
Drone-based physiological phenotyping uses advanced sensors such as thermal, multispectral, hyperspectral, and LiDAR to detect plant stress, track growth, and measure photosynthesis across entire fields. This article explains how drones bridge laboratory physiology with real-world agriculture, enabling early stress detection and climate-resilient crop development.
