The Agronomy and Plant Breeding System
AGROBASE Generation II is a Windows-based, intuitive, fully relational Agronomy software system, utilizing some of the latest software technology. The software is licensed as a Basic System, with additional modules that can be licensed according to an individual's needs. The Basic System is the foundation of the program, and provides all the basic functions and features required to conduct agronomic or plant breeding trials. The Basic System and modules are being enhanced annually, with additional new modules slated to be developed in future years.
Core System
The Basic System is the foundation for the entire Generation II System. It offers Data Management, Experiment management, and Statistical Analysis. Each Generation II license starts with the Basic System and builds on it according to your needs. You can tailor this system to work for YOU and your company. We support the installation and use of AGROBASE Generation II for standalone-PCs, local area networks (LANs) and over Citrix® connections.
System Requirements can be found here.
AGROBASE Generation II® Components
Varietal Comparisons
This module compares relative performance of varieties or treatments within a trial or across all trials, locations, and years, and also analyzes genotype x environment (GXE) interactions.
Advanced Statistics
This module supports the randomization and analysis of more advanced experimental designs, spatial analyses of yield trials, multivariate analyses, and other advanced statistical analyses.
Pedigree Data Management
The Pedigree Data Management Module supports the plant breeding needs of many types of crops. In addition to self-fertilizing crops, this module also supports clonal crops, crops with cytoplasmic male sterility, cross-pollinating crops, open-pollinated crops, and polycrosses and synthetics common to some grass breeding programs.
Image Display
This module supports the display of images of varieties or treatments. You can link an almost unlimited number of images to display the growth stages, flower colour or shape, plant components and characteristics, or even molecular markers, for example, for any variety or genotype. You can also link images to any trait, such as different stages or types of disease reactions or insects, different scores for growth stages, and more. Finally, you can even link many images of an individual experiment, entire trial, or a location to help you remember what the experiment or trial looked like years ago.
Seed Inventory Module
For release in February 2010, the first version will include the following features. This module will handle seed lots, seed traits, seed allocation and much more – all fully integrated within AGROBASE Generation II. This module will be developed only for the SQL-Server Version.
Each module is designed to assist you in making your work easier. Not every module is required for everyone, which is why we work WITH you to determine which parts of the system will optimize your time and work best for you.
