An important part of plant science is understanding how plants respond to their environment, so monitoring plant phenotypes is of great importance. CD BioSciences can help customers around the world observe all aspects of plant performance, including size and shape, root structure, growth rate under specific conditions, and more. These data can be used to develop improved and sustainable crops.
Suitable for: All plant types.
The DroughtSpotter is a gravimetric platform with precision irrigation to assess transpiration dynamics of plants with a precision of up to 1g. The integrated irrigation units allow precise and reproducible water application for drought stress or related experiments that require an accurate control of water volume to 1ml. The individual pot weight can be up to 12 kg. The platform is installed in an existing greenhouse and comprised of 168 load cells for which watering protocols or drought scenarios can be easily customised. The designed irrigation events maintain the target weight of each individual plant pot according to the researchers' experimental protocol and provide plant transpiration rates at high temporal resolution calculated by the loss of weight.
