A comparison of collecting plant phenotypes in the field between the Avenger tractor and 1 well-trained summer student
| Avenger tractor | Summer student | |
|---|---|---|
| Total collection time (h) | 1.5 | 4.0 |
| Plots sampled per hour | 110 | 60 |
| Measurements per plot | 120 | 3 |
| Traits per plot (simultaneous) | 4 | 2 |
| Total measurements collected | 115,200 | 1440 |
| Time to upload/process data (h) | 6 | 2.5 |
These values are averaged over 6 collections from a 2.7 ha field with 240 experimental plots (12 × 1.02 m) over 6 irrigation basins
