1) Explore new technology available for acquisiton and management of breeding related data
Managing plant breeding data is a cumbersome, labor intensive yet essential task for any breeding program. However, a variety of technologies and software are available to reduce labor inputs, increase efficiency and uniformity, and improve the ability to track trends. Workshop topics will include data management of pollination records, pedigrees, trial data, and multiple projects as well as the integration of technology. Several novel software programs will be discussed and demonstrated. In addition, tablets used in conjunction with Excel will be presented for capturing field data. Finally, innovative approaches for maximizing the potential of traditional spreadsheets will be presented.
