  • System for selecting plants from among a population of plants
    Patent number: 10412901
    Abstract: Provided is a system (1) and method for identifying one or more plants in a population of two or more plants (4). The method includes monitoring one or more parameters of a plant (4) of the population and generating one or more time signals indicative of values of the one or more parameters. The signals are processed to calculate one or both of a transpiration rate of each plant and a rate of change of a transpiration rate over each of one or more time intervals. The plants are then ranked using an algorithm involving the calculated transpiration rates, and plants having a ranking above a predetermined ranking are identified. Further provided is a system for carrying out the method of the invention.
