According to Potato Review, a new project has been launched in the Netherlands that adheres to the principles of sustainable agriculture. The research focuses on the application of data science and artificial intelligence to achieve more efficient and rapid development of potato varieties resistant to various factors.
The project, known as CropXR, is a collaboration between Wageningen University & Research, Universiteit Utrecht and Universiteit van Amsterdam. Using advanced methods and technologies, scientists hope to strengthen the resistance of potatoes to diseases and pests.
One of the key aspects of this research is the active use of data and analysis using artificial intelligence. This allows scientists to quickly identify potential threats and take measures to strengthen the sustainability of crops.
The project also has practical applications aimed at supporting farmers in increasing yields and reducing losses from diseases. Modern cultivation methods, combined with innovative technologies, can make potato cultivation more productive and resistant to climate change.
This is an investment in the future of agriculture, which can lead to the creation of new potato varieties that can effectively cope with the challenges of modern agriculture and ensure sustainable vegetable production.
