CSIRO researchers are testing drone-mounted hyperspectral cameras and machine learning to identify wheat traits such as photosynthesis, respiration and grain-filling rate. The work has demonstrated that the equipment can operate reliably at scale and could help breeders select plants that produce better yields with less water.
If the technology helps breeders improve yields or water efficiency, it could raise wheat production over time and put downward pressure on prices. The research is still developmental, so any supply effect is distant and uncertain.
