The turf industry is high profile with sports fields, golf courses&nbsp;and&nbsp;home lawns. Meanwhile, forages don\u2019t get near the support in terms of funding, but it\u2019s just as important for grazing livestock, land rehabilitation&nbsp;and&nbsp;reclamation, as well as conservation and habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/genovix.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dreamstimefree_657236-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Dreamstimefree 657236\" class=\"wp-image-203\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But due to the biology of these crops, plant breeders have very different needs when it comes to research data management. Forage breeders have a very different structure and approach. Unlike their annual crop counterparts, forage breeders need to research, evaluate and record data across multiple cuttings and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All too often these breeders are forced to work within existing software programs not made for research across multiple years. They manually construct new&nbsp;experiment&nbsp;designs or use makeshift tactics to get by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think: If you could take any experimental design and with one&nbsp;click&nbsp;expand it out three years or five years. Not only&nbsp;that,&nbsp;but when you analyze the data, all the means are stored for every location and every year. You can see all your trial data from all years across all locations with all traits. If you want to see all the data for one or more&nbsp;years,&nbsp;or trait A for three years across all trials and locations, it\u2019s nearly impossible in Excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do what you need to do as efficiently as possible, you need a highly connected database that relates to the practical realities of a breeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words,&nbsp;software&nbsp;has to be built around the way plant breeders work and conduct variety trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I\u2019m taking data on individual plants, I want to&nbsp;score plants&nbsp;I select within a population. I should be able to expand the data structure for as many or as few plants as I want. Let\u2019s say I\u2019m working on stem rust and have a plant population of 5,000. I want to see the average score of all<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/genovix.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dreamstimefree_290307-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Dreamstimefree 290307\" class=\"wp-image-87\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">my plants. Being able to see that my population averages a 2 is much better than a 7 or 8. This saves me time and allows me to build a selection index. I now know which plants or populations to&nbsp;focus on..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data has to be highly interconnected in a meaningful&nbsp;way,&nbsp;so that you as a breeder can pull out the information needed. What exactly do I mean by this? Years, locations, experiments&nbsp;and&nbsp;traits should all connected to a genotype. Then I can search by genotype or I can search all the data for a given trait, or all the data for a given year. To do that, everything has to be highly connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you settling for something less?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(<em>First published on SeedWorld.com | October 2016<\/em> | <em>Updated July 2019<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out how we can help at: <a href=\"https:\/\/agronomix.com\/pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agronomix.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr. Dieter Mulitze is Founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/agronomix.com\/pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agronomix Software Inc.<\/a> &#8211; developers of leading plant breeding software for breeders and variety testers.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":32602,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[40,36,33,34],"class_list":["post-27072","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-agtech","tag-data-management","tag-plant-breeding","tag-software"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Don\u2019t Settle for Less - Agronomix<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/agronomix.com\/pt\/blog\/dont-settle-for-less\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"pt_BR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Don\u2019t Settle for Less\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Think: If you could take any experimental design and with one click expand it out three years or five years.
