An integral part of the breeding process is planning and creating experiments. The Experiment Creation tool is a set of sub-tools that help you organize experiment plans, outline field management details, and identify the tasks conducted within a certain season.

In the EBS, there are five experiment types: Breeding trials, Intentional Crossing Nursery, Generation Nursery, Cross Parent Nursery, and Observation. Let’s get started by navigating to the Experiment Creation tool.

Getting started

1. From the dashboard, open the left navigation panel by clicking Show left nav (☰) found on Top menu. You may also use the shortcut Alt + L.

2. Once the left navigation panel is open, click the first option - Experiment Creation.

Great job! You can now see and use the Experiment Creation tool. You will be greeted with a table that will reflect any experiments that have been created.

Create your first experiment by clicking Create on the upper right of the data browser. You can then choose which experiment type you will create - a breeding trial, intentional crossing nursery, generation nursery, cross parent nursery, or observation.
