According to the South China Morning Post, a prototype device was created to utilize a 'vast amount of breeder experience' when evaluating crops for their potential in breeding. This robot was introduced to the public at a recent seminar focused on wheat breeding, as reported by state-run China Science Daily on Friday. Traditional wheat breeders depend on a significant accumulation of experience to pinpoint and choose strains possessing superior characteristics from numerous hybrid offspring, potentially numbering in the tens of thousands. However, this selection process necessitates manual evaluation within the field, which is described as a procedure that is both subjective and requires considerable labor.
