In his JST project, Emerson Javier Martinez Garcia focuses on characterizing maize growth phases in Guatemala using UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and satellite imagery, as well as machine learning analysis methods. This collaboration between Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT aims at identifying key growth stages, crop health, and agronomic information to optimize yield predictions.
“Small and medium-sized corn farmers often lack the resources for automated crop monitoring and analysis. Through my collaboration with the CGIAR organization, I aim to develop tools that integrate technology into agricultural activities, streamlining tasks and enabling the collection of valuable data for future analysis and projects,” says Emerson. His research not only supports sustainable farming practices but also empowers farmers with tools for better decision-making.
