Overview
Plant modelling is a scientific technique used to better understand the structure, behaviour and dynamics of living plant systems. It is used to predict how plants will respond to stress, new conditions and to changing environmental conditions. It can also be used to investigate how plants cope with drought or other challenges, or how they manage pests and diseases. Plant modelling is an important tool for promoting the sustainability of food production, improved crop yields and more efficient use of resources. The technique is used to design effective strategies for pest control, crop production optimization and crop protection. Plant modelling has the potential to revolutionize plant breeding, allowing growers and plant biologists to identify the best combinations of traits in a given crop and create more efficient, productive and resilient seed varieties.
