CROSS-GROWER STUDY AND FIELD TARGETING

A computer-implemented method for improving crop yield in fields includes accessing data representative of predicted performance of seeds for a field and creating an experiment for the field based on the predicted performance of the seeds. The experiment includes a specific prescription to plant the seeds in the field. The method also includes transmitting the prescription to a planter and/or a harvester associated with the field and collecting, in real time, planting data for the seeds as the seeds are planted in the field and harvesting data for a crop grown in the field from the planted seeds. The method further includes validating that execution of the experiment in the field is consistent with the prescription and generating a recommendation based on a comparison of the collected harvesting data for the crop grown in the field to the predicted performance of the seeds included in the prescription.
