FGV is one of the largest plantation companies and crude palm oil producer in the world. Experienced in oil palm breeding research for fifty years since 1960s mainly to improve oil palm yield in term of FFB production and OER. Managing breeding research data is a challenges in any plant breeding research. As technology advancement for the past ten years witnessing the introducing GIS technology, remote sensing, precision agriculture and IoT, information technology plays main role to manage the information in form of application and relational database system to store and linking between information for the long years of research. Over the years, data collected will increase in number and become more difficult to manage. Therefore implementation of technology was used using database management system in order to tackle this problem and has been called FGV Integrated Breeding System (FIBS). The objective is to store collection of data and information of FGV oil palm breeding research such as breeding background, project information, crossing operation and field data. The database was developed using combination of powerful open source web development platform which are Linux as the operating system, Apache as the web server, MySQL as the relational database management system and PHP as the object oriented scripting language. Implementation of information system helps improve data integrity & traceability, reduce data redundancy and provide easy access to information for researcher. In conclusion, as technology rapid growth through the years ahead, towards the precision agriculture and advancement in breeding through biotechnology, advancement and improvement must be made concurrently so no technology are left behind.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
