Cloverfield v3.5.1 – April 25th, 2025
New features have been added to Cloverfield™, your online digital phenotyping data platform. This release includes tailored new features for plant breeding, crop protection & nutrition and also production fields to let you make decisions earlier in the season, so you can maximize time and resources.
Among these new features you'll find powerful new dashboards in the 'Analytics' tab:
This new analytic dashboard empowers plant breeders to map the diversity of the genetic material represented within their field trials. This feature allows for a fast, in-season analysis of diversity from phenotyping data, to inspect the different clusters responsible for your genetic diversity, to analyze the correlation between the calculated traits and your ground truth assessments (manual measurements or validation data), and to be able to make decisions earlier and maximize the impact of your trial.
How to access it in Cloverfield™?
You’re ready to analyze the diversity clusters of your trial!
This also new analytics dashboard allows for a fast and direct analysis of your modality performance within a product testing trial. This integrated ANOVA tool helps to quickly determine the multifactorial equation explaining the variability of your modalities from the calculated traits so you can streamline your analysis of which treatment is statistically relevant within your trial program and target the best performing modalities overall. This feature breaks down in 3 steps: Multifactorial equation definition + ANOVA computation + post-hoc test (Tukey HSD) for pairwise comparison.
How to access it in Cloverfield™?
This feature is tailored for production fields and On-Farm Experiments allowing to fuse data from multiple vectors like satellite heterogeneity map with RGB imagery from Literal, to assess the heterogeneity of the field and locate precisely sampling zone and perform non-destructive assessments of your crops to investigate further what’s going on in your field or experiment. Through accurate data collection and processing, this solution is aiming at helping you evaluate the performance of new agricultural practices and optimize harvest logistics for instance.

New features have been added to Cloverfield™, your plant phenotyping online platform. With these additions, we continue to make your digital phenotyping journey frictionless and to allow you to optimize your breeding schemes with always more advanced and efficient analytical capabilities.
New features include:
Easily upload your own data (such as visual scoring, yield, experimental design attributes, lab measures, etc.) and access this data in different sections of Cloverfield: Analytics, Maps and Advanced Filtering. Use our Excel template to package and import your data and your custom metrics will appear as a new trait in Cloverfield next to your favourite drone traits. For instance, the Comparative Scatter Plot will now let you plot one of your custom metric (e.g. disease scoring) on the x-axis against any drone trait (e.g. chlorophyll content) in the y-axis, and let you navigate the correlation coefficients across time.
Important: Your uploaded data is not stored on our servers and is only available to you during your web session. It is only cached in your browser and will disappear once your cache is refreshed or when you close your session. Saving your data in our server to keep it available to you and your team is done by your project manager upon your request.
Now, you can filter your experiments faster than ever. The Advanced Filtering tool allows you to identify the top performing varieties or modalities across multiple factors. For instance, if you are running breeding nurseries, you can use it to very efficiently eliminate materials that do not match multiple criteria such as drone traits (e.g., flowering precocity, vigor, biovolume, fruit count) and your custom metrics (e.g., brix ratings from your lab measures). Simply select the drone traits and custom metrics, place your thresholds for each using the sliders and filter dynamically your experiment's material in a flash.
The custom data that you uploaded in Cloverfield will appear in Advanced Filtering tool in the attributes table and under the My Custom Data category marked in blue.
