Outline
Crops such as soybean and tomato can only be grown to about half of their potentially achievable yield due to various problems related to soils. In this research, we develop a multimodal sensor device to diagnose minerals and metabolites in the rhizosphere, which has strong influence on the crop growth. We identify biomarkers for robustness by integrating data from sensors and omics and analysing in multimodal deep learning. We verify biomarkers under fluctuating environment to achieve crop robustness for the increase of production.
