Podcast S6E10: The Psychometric Test for Plants: Accelerating Crop Research

The Psychometric Test for Plants: Accelerating Crop Research

 

Our guest in this episode is Keren Moshelion, CEO and co-founder of Plant-Ditech. Keren shares insights into the company’s advanced plant phenotyping platform. The system simulates stress conditions like drought, salinity, and nutrient variability, measuring plant responses with high-resolution sensors up to 500 times a day. These real-time measurements help researchers rapidly assess plant productivity, growth, and water use efficiency. It enables them to customize treatments per plant and analyze physiological traits linked to yield. Designed for greenhouses and growth chambers, the platform significantly accelerates agtech R&D, with customers reporting time savings of up to two years. The company's clients use the system for both academic and commercial research.
