Information Management System for Sugarcane Breeding

Abstract

In sugarcane breeding, large amounts of data are collected every year, and the use of these data needs to be optimized to enhance breeding. Therefore, GIS is being used to integrate location information on research plots and research data. Location information on research plots is placed on GIS by using a RTK-GNSS (real-time kinematic positioning–global navigation satellite system). Such breeding information can then be used effectively on mobile devices that can be carried around on a daily basis. This use of breeding information is achieved by (1) using QField to run the open-source platform QGIS on an Android device and (2) converting the QGIS data into files that can be used on the Web.
