      abstract = {Identification of desirable genotypes with traits of  interest is discernible for making genetic improvement of  crop plants. In this direction, screening of a large number  of germplasm for desirable traits and transfer of  identified traits into agronomic backgrounds through  recombination breeding is the common breeding approach.  Although visual screening is easier for qualitative traits,  its use is not much effective for quantitative traits and  also for those, which are difficult to score visually.  Therefore, it is imperative to phenotype the germplasm  accessions and breeding materials precisely using high  throughput phenomics tools for challenging and complex  traits under natural, controlled and harsh environmental  conditions. Realizing the importance of phenotyping data  towards identification and utilization of a germplasm as  donors, global scientific community has exerted increased  focus on advancing phenomics in crop plants leading to  development of a number of techniques and methodologies for  screening of agronomic, physiological, and biochemical  traits. These technologies have now become much advanced  and entered the era of digital science. This book provides  exhaustive information on various aspects related to  phenotyping of crop plants and offers a most comprehensive  reference on the developments made in traditional and high  throughput phenotyping of agricultural crops.},
