INNOPGPLAN focuses on evaluating and predicting the effects of components and/or treatments on plant growth and crop yield . This is made possible through the combination of climate chambers with an innovative, camera-based phenotyping system that enables dynamic monitoring of plant growth and health. The advanced screening platform represents enormous added value (1) in the selection procedure within the product development of biostimulants, among others, (2) for research in the transition to a sustainable agriculture with a focus on the valorization of all biomass streams, such as extraction of high-quality plant components from crop residue fractions. Both objectives contribute to resilient value-added agriculture and focus on climate change mitigation. This research infrastructure supports strategies in the search for sustainable solutions within the transition to sustainable agriculture (PLANET), and stimulates new B2B collaborations (PROFIT), both of which benefit human health (PEOPLE).
