Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a system, method and computer program product for managing a research seed location. In various embodiments, the method of the present invention comprises storing at least one field characteristic layer in a memory, storing at least one the research plot layer in a memory, and merging the research plot layer and the field characteristic layer via a processor. In some embodiments, the research plot plan may be linked to a research plot database. In some embodiments, plant observation data and/or plant harvest data may be collected and may be merged with the research plot plan. In some embodiments, a seed planting device may be controlled to plant seeds according to the research plot plan.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of managing a research seed location, said method comprising: storing at least one field characteristic layer in a memory, the field characteristic layer representing a geospatial area; storing at least one research plot layer in a memory, the research plot layer also representing a geospatial area and including plot data having a unique identifier; merging the research plot layer and the field characteristic layer via a processor to create a re…
