Conference on Digital Technologies
and Artificial Intelligence for Crop Growth
Monitoring and Improvement
The principal goal of digital technologies coupled with Artificial Intelligence for agriculture is to provide precision and forecasting to improve productivity, and resource preservation, to help in decision-making for sustainable agriculture.
6 -7 October 2023:
An Open plenary conference was organized at the Higher Institute of Biotechnology of Sfax (ISBS).
Main topics
-Phenomics and controlled monitoring of plant growth.
-Al in plant phenomics
Keynote speakers*
Prof. JP SCHNITZLER (HMGU, Germany):
Presentation 1: “In-depth Phenotyping to decipher Plant Functional Traits: Volatilomics “The secret smell of plants and fungi – How we can use it for plant phenotyping & environmental studies“
Presentation 2: “Metabolomics: Deciphering metabolic traits in plant-insect & plant-microbe interactions”
Presentation 3: “Non-invasive imaging of plant functional traits “High throughput phenotying of agronomic traits for plant breeding”
Dr. Bart VAN GANSBEKE (VIB Agro-Incubator, Ghent, Belgium): “Presentation of the automatic phenotyping platform (@ VIB Agro-Incubator)”
