3rd APPN meeting - Field Phenotyping and Remote Sensing, 13th June, BOKU, Vienna, AT

by Jez,Jakub

Dear friends, It is our pleasure to invite you to the 3rd Austrian Plant Phenotyping Network (APPN) Conference featuring “Field Phenotyping and Remote Sensing”. Last year we put emphasis on root phenotyping (https://www.appn.at/2ndappn_eppn2020-2/) this year the main focus will be (although not exclusively) on field phenotyping and “big” data. Other plant phenotyping topics (controlled environments, root phenotyping and others) will be covered by the respective sessions based on the received abstracts. The meeting will take place on June 13, 2019 at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, AT. (Free) registration open: https://www.appn.at/3rdappn/ Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order): Opening speech: Christian Obinger, Vice Rector for Research, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) Clement Atzberger, Head of Institute for Surveying, Remote Sensing and Land Information, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences and GreenSense GmbH, AT “Determining crop traits through multi-spectral data” Helge Aasen, ETH Zürich, Dep. of Environmental System Science, CH “Low-altitude / high-resolution remote sensing for field-phenotyping” Ittai Herrmann, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, R.H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, IL “Field crops phenotyping (disease, water status and yield) by spectral remote and proximal sensing” Jan F.

FW: Waste bins in PlantS Facility

by Auer, Anneliese

Dear all, a short reminder of "General Plant Rules": Do not fill the waste bins with orange autoclave bag more than half full. Full bins with wet soil are really too heavy for our waste management staff! Thank you for your cooperation.
