ISTA Workshop: Multispectral imaging for seed quality assessment – focus on use for other seeds and purity determination

Aim of the workshop 

The aim of the Workshop is to introduce multispectral imaging for seed quality assessment, present the current status and discuss its future potential for use in other seeds determination and purity determination

Workshop content

Participants will acquire hands-on experience with multispectral imaging and be introduced to other imaging technologies.

There will be small training sessions where participants will use commercially available equipment to build test sessions to distinguish between small samples of weeds versus crop seeds.

Current cases from seed companies will be presented and we will discuss potential pitfalls for the introduction of new technologies in seed quality assessment and regulation.
