Smart farming: AI predicts potato growth potential

A cutting-edge AI tool can now predict how well seed potatoes will grow into healthy potato plants. Developed by biologists from Utrecht University in collaboration with the Delft University of Technology and plant breeders, the tool uses DNA data from bacteria and fungi found on seed potatoes and drone images of potato fields. "This marks the beginning of a new era in farming, where microbiology and AI come together to enhance agriculture."
