Handbook of protocols to assess traits in plant teams

To meet data quality standards, all experimental measurements of plant traits and agronomic performance will be synchronised across years and locations by means of shared experimental protocols. The protocols will be developed iteratively with WP4 and WP5 for purposes of data management and use (in WP5). A first version of the protocol to be applied in year 1 trials will be based on the collated experience of WP2 partners, following standard monitoring protocols for target traits and performance parameters. This protocol will be developed further each year, and a final assessment protocol will be published as a handbook for stakeholders and agricultural researchers.
