Monitoring and Enhancing Plant Productivity
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing extensive capabilities to improve plant drought tolerance; water and nutrient use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and natural systems. By monitoring plant function, stress responses, water and nutrient use, greenhouse gas emissions, and analyzing rhizosphere and plant microbiomes, results have shown improved plant performance and stress tolerance, production of plant pro- and prebiotics, and ability to control greenhouse gas emissions from indoor and outdoor agricultural systems. We seek a commercialization partner to fund precision agriculture specific research & development (R&D) through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Our goal is to further research and develop our laboratory scale capabilities with a collaborative partner to achieve two goals: 1) reduce the use of water and fertilization in agricultural systems; and 2) create carbon neutral food and energy technologies to support precision agriculture at commercial scale.
