| Abstract | The National Variety Trials (NVT) involve a yearly coordination of 630 grain trials conducted across 250 locations in Australia. At different stages of the crop season Trial Service Providers visually assess the attributes of the grain plants in each trial-plot to evaluate the growth and development of the different grain varieties. This involves manual measurements related to: (i) plant dimensions (height, canopy size); (ii) different stages of growth (seedling, tillering, jointing, boot and flowering); and (iii) germination rate. However, the availability of personnel to perform this monitoring is likely to be constrained to larger research stations. |
