Computing skills are essential for plant breeders in various aspects of their work, enabling them to manage large genetic, phenotypic, and environmental datasets and conduct complex statistical analyses for decision-making. During this five-day, hands-on workshop, NC State will teach computing skills that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and innovation in plant breeding, ultimately leading to the development of improved crop varieties.
