An observation is a type of experiment that is commonly used for screening experiments and seed multiplication of fixed materials. The entries and checks may be replicated and planted according to the order specified by the user without using a statistical design.
Provide basic information
You are first required to give basic information about the experiment and optionally describe the experiment by providing additional details.
1. From the Create Experiment page, click the drop-down field under Experiment Type and select Observation.
2. Wait for the page to load the default values (Experiment Type, Crop, Program, and Experiment Code).
Click on the Default Values header to expand that section and see the default values.
3. Fill in all fields marked with an asterisk ( * ).
Although the remaining fields are optional, we encourage you to fill these in so that your experiment information is complete and easier to identify for future use.
4. Once done, in the upper right corner click Save.
5. Wait for the notification that the Experiment is successfully created.
Great job! Let’s proceed to our next step - create an entry list.
