Crossing nurseries in the EBS can be intentional or cross parent nurseries. In an Intentional Crossing Nursery (ICN), the parent roles (female, male, or both) of the germplasm are already known and will be planted to be used in a cross. The following hybridization workflows can be supported:
Staggered planting - an entry can be planted multiple times, and each planting batch (considered 1 rep) is 1 block.
Block planting- One (or more) entry is 1 block.
Note that Intentional Crossing Nursery does not allow using germplasms as parents from other nurseries or trials.
Provide basic information
The first step in creating the experiment is to give basic information about it and optionally provide additional details.
Click the dropdown field under Experiment Type and select Intentional Crossing Nursery.
Fill in the necessary fields, especially those marked with an asterisk ( * ).
It is recommended to fill out the optional fields to identify the experiment when it is used in the future.
Once done, click Save.
The Parent List tab will open with the notification that the experiment is successfully created.
Great job! What is the next step?
Add parents to the ICN experiment.
Create changes to the parents.
