Phenotypic dataset from the joint Cirad-Ciat project documents all evaluation trials of diverse sorghum varieties carried out in Nicaragua from 2002 to 2008. The dataset includes both on-station and on-farm trials managed during this period. It was authored by Gilles Trouche and is part of the CIRAD Harvested Collection.
Use Cases
- Compare sorghum variety performance based on phenotypic traits mentioned in the description
- Analyze genotype-by-environment interactions based on on-station and on-farm trial data
- Model crop adaptation and yield potential for Nicaragua based on multi-year trial results
Strengths
- Multi-year coverage from 2002 to 2008 provides a longitudinal perspective.
- Includes both controlled on-station and real-world on-farm trial data, which likely offers comparative insights.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
