Aside from the trait data gathered during the field collection, EBS can also record post-harvest data through the Post Harvest tool. The Post Harvest button in the Data Collection tool serves as the entry point for initiating post-harvest data collection.
To learn more about uploading your collected trait data, check out the user guides on Data Collection using EBS and Data Collection using Field Book.
