Abstract :It is necessary to have productive and true phenotyping to bring out the usefulness of breeding studies. Phenotyping is the main reason of the obstructions experienced during breeding studies. Despite the fact that, current methods that are used for phenotyping selection are still too slow, overcosting, manpower based and generally very destructive. Plant phenotype is formed from plant genome and environmental (biotic/abiotic) interactions. During the phenotyping studies many plant specifications are measured such as, following the plant growing, canopy structure, physiology, productivity, resistancy against diseases and pests. Considering these information, it is not possible to reach fast and precise results by using traditional methods, that includes visual and manual measurements. To succeed of thousands parcel breeding programs are depending on using high throughput phenotyping (HTP). It is an opportunity to use the small unmanned aerial vehicle for high throughput phenotyping selection with many advantages like to put the device into use very fast and low cost for multiple times, to set the altitude and flight time according the user’s needs, to take high resolution images, and to be available for small scale studies. By using small unmanned aerial vehicle it will be possible to eliminate the obstacles for developing varieties and determining the super genotype specifications. At the same time, there will be new opportunities for plant breeders and agronomists to improve the new methods. This study will shed light on the elimination of problems in cereal phenotyping studies, one of the biggest obstacles to breeding trials.Keywords : Tahıl ıslahı, Fenotipleme, Mini insansız hava aracı
