TreeScribe is the field app of the Savanna Institute's tree crop breeding programs. It gives you the ability to record data on every plant with its accession, its row and position, and its history, so a person walking a planting records what they see against the right plant. Work it does in the field: - Photograph a plant and the photo is named for that plant, filed by trial and by day, and sent to your program's Google Drive. - Score traits from your Breedbase trait list, one tap per value. - Count burs or other fruit on a tree, including a separate count of what is on the ground. - Record harvest bags against the bush they came from. - Write or dictate notes about a plant. - Record a plant's position from a connected GNSS receiver. It is built for places with no signal. Everything is recorded on the phone and sent when a network appears, and a trial's drone imagery can be downloaded beforehand so the map works with no connection at all. Access is by invitation: each person is given a personal access code by their breeding program, and the app records nothing without one.
