U of G Researcher Advances AI-Powered Soybean Breeding
Dr. Milad Eskandari is using artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperspectral imaging to transform soybean breeding, enabling faster, smarter and more precise crop selection. The study, funded in part by the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, demonstrated that hyperspectral vegetation indices combined with hybrid AI models – including deep neural networks – can accurately predict soybean yield and biomass.
