Abstract
Accurate and complete phenotypic data are essential to fields in crop science, plant breeding, and genetic researches. Often phenotyping and management becomes complicated due to large population sizes and the measurements of multiple traits. The vast amount of data require much time and labor, simultaneously leading to human errors. Technology can be exploited to improve the phenotypic data collection process through better tools or information management systems. "FieldBook" is a system we have developed to collect phenotypic data quickly and accurately in maize and rice, with a little manual data entry using data capture tools.
