Management and Characterization of Abiotic Stress via PhenoField^®, a High-Throughput Field Phenotyping Platform.

ABSTRACT: In order to evaluate the impact of water deficit in field conditions, researchers or breeders must set up large experiment networks in very restrictive field environments. Experience shows that half of the field trials are not relevant because of climatic conditions that do not allow the stress scenario to be tested. The PhénoField^® platform is the first field based infrastructure in the European Union to ensure protection against rainfall for a large number of plots, coupled with the non-invasive acquisition of crops' phenotype. In this paper, we will highlight the PhénoField^® production capability using data from 2017-wheat trial. The innovative approach of the PhénoField^® platform consists in the use of automatic irrigating rainout shelters coupled with
