FACT: FIELD CROP VARIETY DATA HUB FOR INFORMATION ACCESS AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY USING HISTORICAL AND CURRENT TRIAL DATA

Our goal is for all Northwest public crop variety testing data to be organized in a well-managed database that enables data access and usage for the agricultural industry and researchers. Towards this goal we have three project objectives. Objective 1 is to establish data standards and a framework for the organization of Pacific Northwest variety testing data. Objective 2 is to assemble and build a database of variety testing data for Pacific Northwest annual field cropping systems. Objective 3 is to enable access to this database through a multifaceted set of tools for the targeted stakeholders: researchers, farmers and other industry professionals.
