TRL5
Descrição
The invention relates to an automatic phenotyping platform, preferably used for plants suffering from a water deficit, which simplifies the task of phenotyping and allows the simultaneous handling of a plurality of plants, as well as the automatic loading of the results obtained for later analysis. The platform includes at least one pair of beams (2) between which at least one plant (1a) is located, and under which a carriage (A) having wheels (10) is located, wherein said carriage can move along said at least one pair of beams (2); and wherein the carriage (A) has at least one weighing means (4) with a mechanism for raising and lowering same, locating said weighing means (4) under the plant (1a); at least one irrigation means (5a, 5b) and at least one means (7) for capturing images of plants; wherein said weighing means (4), irrigation means (5a,5b) and image capture means are connected to a central computer that is able to store the received data and to vary the activation times of irrigation and measurement by means of the connection to said means of irrigation (5a, 5b).
