DIVERSify Handbook for trait assessment in agricultural plant teams. Deliverable report D2.2 (D17)

This handbook was developed to help facilitate coordinated assessments across multiple field trials of plant teams, specifically, legume-cereal intercrops and grassland mixtures. In preparation of the H2020-funded project DIVERSify we identified the need for a handbook combining protocols for assessing plant traits as well as agronomic characteristics, filling a gap that other handbooks are not addressing. With the aim of promoting the generation of ‘big data’ from a larger set of agricultural field trials, emphasis has also been on the importance of standardised formats through the use of shared data templates and collection of meta-data.
