The Process steps for an integrated breeding Data Management In general breeders will 1.Select the materials they wanted to test or evaluate for a breeding objective. Study may contain many trials. 2.They will determine where (location) the experiment or trial will be done 3.What kind of experimental design to choose that will be most appropriate for the trial/experiment 4.They will do a field/laboratory/greenhouse layout to position the materials mainly to remove error that may be due to bias. 5.Monitoring the trial/experiment involves taking notes of your observations and sometimes in many different locations for the same experiment/trial 6.Keep information about past and current experiments/trials otherwise even you will be lost in the maze of breeders crosses, backcrosses, etc. with resource constraints, optimization is the new order. The Process Steps

These tools are designed to simulate the real life practices and help us reduce some of the mundane aspect of our breeding activities. No system designed for any purpose can succeed without help or ideas from the users of that system. The tools that we are introducing should be critically evaluated by you and any aspect you want us to improve or include should be passed on to us with your suggestions. We aim to be successful in our ability to capture those processes you go through in real life and until you can tell us that we got it right, there is no rest. Integrated Breeding Tools on a Portal

PC / laptop Integrated Breeding Management

IBWorkbench on PC/laptop: Contains tools to do all that is necessary in a breeding environment e.g IBFieldbook Fieldbooks from PC to Tablet Data are recorded on the tablet in the fieldbook on the field. The fieldbook with recorded data is transferred back to the PC for upload to the database using the Ibfieldbook – import option

Advantages of using the handheld device 1.Save a lot of paper (loads of specially designed paper for fieldbook generation 2.Save resources for other things, reusability, reduce deforestation 3.The cost associated with transcribing of data from paper fieldbook to our PC is eliminated 4.Data accuracy can be better achieved when you use the device to capture data directly from the field 5.The time taken to get an electronic version of your data is reduced 6.
