HYdrology, Drones & RAinout Shelters.
A state-of-the-art, multi-sensor and drought controlled field phenotyping platform.
HYDRAS is equipped to perform both above- and belowground phenotyping. This unique feature allows getting insight into the responses of plants to drought in a representative crop production environment.
HYDRAS was developed to address two critical challenges in plant breeding for climate adaptation:
1. Access to below-ground plant traits 2. Translation of results from basic plant science to realistic field conditions.
HYDRAS is an open access facility for research institutions and industry. If you have questions regarding the use of the infrastructure or want to discuss collaboration opportunities, let's talk!
