Integration with GCP Crop Ontology
Agtrials.org is growing: evaluation data
Related ongoing activities • Continued integration among IBP , Crop Ontology and other
GCP initiatives
• Site Analogue tool for climate similarity
• Development of a generic methodology for G x E analysis to understand varietal response through genotype by environment.
• Application of methods to case studies, using the data at www.agtrials.org
• Collaboration with crop modeling initiatives AgMIPS and Global Futures, including modeled trials.
• Development of a community of data analysts looking at varietal response (blog in Agtrials.org)
• Exploring collaboration with selected groups of on-going programs and initiatives
Thank you for your attention Q&A
