The upgrade of the existing CEPI (Controlled-Environment Phenotyping Installations) platforms at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology (PSB) will start in December 2022.
The construction of the infrastructure FABPS (Field Above and Below ground Phenotyping System) will start in the coming weeks with the installation of the ERT system.
Thanks to VITO, VIB’s annual maize field trials received several visits of an imaging drone, revealing the phenotypes of novel maize lines in Belgian field conditions throughout the growing season.
The team at the VIB Agro-Incubator is pleased to announce the first step of the construction phase of their new high throughput plant phenotyping system is completed.
