- Objective: use machine learning to discover how weather and soil affects yield of broadacre cropping.
How the project works
Machine-learning techniques investigate weather and soil constraints contributing to variability in yield from broadacre cropping enterprises. The Institute is working closely with leading Elders agronomists and their clients to provide real-life data into the machine-learning processes.
