A harvest summary can now be displayed to show additional information about the harvested germplasm and its source. This can be accessed in the Harvest Data tab after harvesting a plot/cross. The harvest summary is available both for successful and failed harvests.
In the harvest data tab, you can now expect a quicker and easier way to provide harvest data for plots/crosses. Only the relevant data fields will be enabled and required, depending on the experiment type, as well as the state and type of germplasm to be harvested. Options in the drop-down menu will also be limited to those applicable for the current plot/cross to be harvested.
Additionally, the crossing date can now be easily provided via a calendar widget.
EBS now support harvest use cases for Dryland Crop Programs (DCP) that include sorghum, chickpea and groundnut, to name a few. Users can now expect that DCP materials with germplasm state of NOT FIXED, which were already used and harvested in previous seasons, should only create new seed lot and package records when harvested using the bulk method again.
F3 cowpea and soybean belonging to any type and whose state is not_fixed can now be harvested using the Bulk method. In the Harvest Data tab, provide the harvest date and select Bulk as the harvest method. Commit and Create the harvest to generate records whose generations are F4 with germplasm state of Fixed.
When harvesting plots for an occurrence whose germplasm name was updated in an earlier experiment, you can now expect that the new germplasm name is correctly reflected in the resulting harvest records when the same germplasm is harvested again, along with new package and seed records.
Origin is a germplasm attribute viewable when clicking the newly-created germplasm name. Users can now expect to see the correct country of origin after successfully harvesting a cross. Additionally, when crosses are harvested for the International Rice Research, a prefix of “IRRI-” is added before the country.
