METHOD FOR CAPTURING AND REPORTING RELEVANT CROP GENOTYPE-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE INFORMATION TO SCIENTISTS FOR CONTINUED CROP GENETIC IMPROVEMENT

摘要

A system for obtaining crop data from crop growers and using the crop data to assist in providing crop genetic improvements is provided. The system receives, from a producer or crop grower, geo-referenced crop data that indicates a yield of a crop at a production location and a particular hybrid or variation of the crop at the production location. The genetic element data is associated with the geo-referenced crop data. Performance data is then determined which indicates the performance of a genetic element of a crop, based on the association of the genetic element data with the geo-referenced crop data.
