Moreover, this approach does not fully take into account environmental and biotic factors important to a hybrid's performance.
Furthermore, this approach lacks the full assessment of the relevance of the information generated by the trials to the relative performance of cultivars (genotype by environment interaction), for example genetic correlations.

Embodiment Construction

[0047] The present invention provides methods which can be used to assist customers, including producers or others in managing risks related to crop production. Managing risks can be performed by understanding the relative performance of different agricultural inputs, including seed products, under the same or similar environmental conditions as well as understanding variations in the performance of the same agricultural input over a range of environmental conditions. By being able to describe and understand these variations in performance, decisions can be made which are consistent with overall business and / or production objectives and limit risk associated with variations in environmental conditions. These decisions can include what seed products or combination of seed products to plant, where to plant different seed products, what other agricultural inputs to use, and what crop management practices to apply. Utilizing precision agriculture techniques, these decisions can be made ...

Abstract

Methods and software for selecting seed products or other agricultural inputs for planting within an associated land base include dividing the field into regions, providing an environmental profile for each of regions, determining a recommendation of a seed product to plant within each of the regions based on the environmental profile and performance of the genotype of each of the seed products in the environmental profile of the regions, and providing an output identifying the seed product to plant within each of the regions.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of a provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 689,716 filed Jun. 10, 2005, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention provides for computer-implemented methods and related methods to assist a crop producer or agricultural input supplier in selecting and / or classifying agricultural inputs, such as seed products to use in one or more fields, utilizing environmental classification information as well as precision agriculture information and methodologies. [0003] The problem is generally described in the context where the seed products are corn hybrids. The current industry-wide approach to delivering product performance information for use in hybrid selection by producers is to use numerous comparative yield measurements from recent years (primarily the most recent year) and the geography considered relevant...
