Abstract

A BASIC program is described which is used to collect, check and analyse rank estimates of plant yield in the field. The program operates in a portable, battery-powered Sharp PC1500A hand-held computer than can be used in a field environment. Data are collected using a modified dry-weight-rank method and comparative yield estimates. Much of the software is designed to trap incorrect data entry. Raw data or summary data may be printed, displayed, and stored on cassette tape or transferred to another computer through a communications interface. The program can be easily modified to run on other models of the Sharp PC series or other portable computers that use a similar BASIC interpreter.
