Imagine if you could take thousands of data scores or observations in the field or laboratory and with just two clicks transfer it all, instantly and accurately, to a server or on the cloud. That would save time and speed up critical decision-making. That\u2019s possible. With more mobility in the workplace and more devices, plant breeders are beginning to reap the benefits of the latest hardware and software technology. <\/span><\/p>\n

The old adage \u201ca picture is worth a thousand words\u201d rings true, especially when evaluating fruit crops where color, size\u00a0and\u00a0shape are critical. Numbers are still the foundation, but photos strengthen your records.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever spent a day working your way through hundreds of plots, they all begin to blur. Where were the best genotypes?<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, there\u00a0are\u00a0plant breeding software programs that are tablet friendly and automatically sync your day\u2019s scoring to the main database when you connect to the Internet. That is incredibly powerful and efficient. Ideally, you might want to walk across a whole field with many experiments and upload a whole field\u2019s data at once \u2014 even more powerful!<\/span><\/p>\n

Like smartphones and laptops, there are a number of options.<\/span><\/p>\n
