The HERTHATM Database
Hertha™ is an internet accessible database developed by AIGN® for the purpose of variety management. It is designed to facilitate shipments of plant material, track plantings via GPS, record evaluations in various formats, and manage Intellectual property of varietals across any number of species.
Its multi-tiered security makes it the ideal platform to both maintain confidential varietal information as well as selectively share information with other users of the database.
IP owners and managers can track where crops are planted via GPS coordinate recording and mapping, an important feature for both restricted and club varieties.
Users can select among various types of evaluations to input, such as standard or UPOV, with each species having different evaluation fields.
Advanced search capabilities make finding data quick and easy. Managing of evaluation test sites, including maps, is built in.
