Efficient data management for plant breeding and field trials

The success of the industry comes down to consistent documentation of trial plans and planting as well as integrating all the collected data – including rating and harvest data as well as relevant lab data. Decisions on varieties, fertilizers, and pesticides are based on these findings, which are collected over a number of years across various locations. That's why a central data management solution is essential. Efficient data management solutions from WINTERSTEIGER let you keep track of all information and give you a transparent way of managing it – a big plus in plant breeding and field trials.

Integrate, visualize, and analyze data

Trial planning, planting, rating, harvest: WINTERSTEIGER helps you optimize the entire process. The individual process steps interlink seamlessly, with collected data being automatically integrated so it's always ready for the next step. This means that our software solutions are perfectly matched to the functionality of the seeders so that the various individual steps are effectively coordinated. Easy Breed works in a similar way by transferring complete harvest lists to the combine interface, while harvest data can also be imported on a plot-by-plot basis.

Benefits of smart data coordination

WINTERSTEIGER's standardized workflows save you time and prevent mistakes. But even more importantly, the data is provided in a form that lets you merge, visualize, analyze, and use it as a basis for your decisions. A set of analysis features comes integrated in Easy Breed as standard. Plus, the data can be efficiently analyzed and used without time-consuming manual editing – even by people who don't code.

Drones for rating, NIRS for seed analysis

WINTERSTEIGER can also help you optimize your seed breeding process on the hardware side. In 2020, WINTERSTEIGER teamed up with French manufacturer Delair and has been offering long-distance drones for rating ever since. During the harvest, a camera with NIRS system solution is used to precisely analyze the harvested material. NIRS stands for near-infrared spectroscopy and is suited to all kinds of crops from rapeseed to grain and legumes to corn kernels.
