Data synthesis in crop variety evaluation : spatio-temporal characterization of environmental adaptation

Field crop production depends on environmental conditions, which vary across space and time.Climate change has increased the uncertainty about weather and environmental conditions.Therefore, farmers need information about which crop variety is adapted to local growing conditions.Also, farmers need to consider factors that go beyond productivity, such as market requirements and socioeconomic context.Such information about varieties is often lacking for farmers, especially in developing countries, and even for agricultural extension agents who assist farmers in decision-making.This information is also useful for crop improvement programs, which aim to develop new varieties with improved adaptation traits.The information relies on data from variety evaluation trials, which are resource-intensive exercises which usually generate a large amount of data.However, these data are often not fully taken …
