UAV image-derived canopy traits for predicting alfalfa fall dormancy and forage yield in Mediterranean environments

Fall dormancy (FD) and forage yield (FY) are two key traits in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) breeding programs. However, genetic progress has remained limited over the past decades, largely due to the complexity of alfalfa breeding and the reliance on labor-intensive phenotyping methods. High-throughput phenotyping (HTP...
