Reports from participants
The IWCPE focuses on current tools, theory and techniques in crop physiology measurements. Through both theoretical lectures and practical in-the-field experience, attendees have the opportunity to experience and learn the latest methods for measuring plants in a field setting. The IWCPE brings together a unique blend of world experts in measurements together with leading instrument manufactures. Theory and application lectures cover topics including carbon assimilation, water use, chlorophyll fluorescence, hyperspectral, and modeling on scales ranging from the leaf-level to field-scale measurements.
