Goals CropXR develops smart data breeding methodology to construct integrated computer models of plants. The models demonstrate how plants respond to different stresses. This will help breeders to grow crops (which are cultivated plants grown for food) in an optimal way. These cutting-edge models are developed by collecting a large volume of measurements and combining

Goals Goals Goals: This team aims to develop a ‘data catalyst’. This novel approach facilitates studying plant resilience when a plant is exposed to combinatorial stresses. It is based on the integration of experimental data with mechanistic modelling, machine learning and bioinformatics. The goal is to develop the data catalyst approach in a generalizable, modular
Workshops Friday 18 October Process-based crop models: practical application and further development Neil Budko, Corné Verburg, Tamara ten Den, Clemens Stolk A central element in CropXR is the development of models that not only enhance our understanding of crop development and speed up breeding but can also be reliably applied in farming practice. This workshop,
Workshops Thursday 17 October CropXR education: what is coming up and how can you get involved? Atoesa Farokhi, Ben Noordijk, Elysa Overdijk The workshop focused on the development of educational modules for CropXR. The workshop moderators were excited to observe strong interest and enthusiasm from all participants. The discussions revolved around three main themes: how
