Agtrials.org• an information portal developed by the CGIAR Research
Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS)
• provides access to a database on the performance of agricultural technologies at sites across the developing world.
• builds on decades of evaluation trials, mostly of varieties, but includes any agricultural technology for developing world farmers.
• standardizes data and information to the benefit of crop adaptation research, climate change analyses, future multi-environment trials and research and development in international agriculture.

20,000+ maize trials in 123 research sites
Effect of +1ºC warming on yield
Sites with >23ºC would suffer even if optimally managed
More than 20% loss in sites with >20ºC, under drought

Connection to Genebank Data: with CropOntology group, we are doing exploratory research
to make these links. Cassava has been completed so far.

Status Update
• 254 registered users (93 of whom have not entered the application)
• 42 technologies (mostly crops)• 34,523 trials• Maize has the largest number of trials (29,188)
followed by common bean (1,866), cassava (1,613), sorghum (359), rice (388) and others
• 89,170 varieties/races at 2,473 sites in 110 countries

Agtrials Metadata – information about the data
• Some of it we made up• Relies on www.cropontology.org• Uses document repository to acquire
information about the data• Concern: how to map our metadata to other
systems• Concern: how much metadata to include• Concern: Metadata and/or data?

2014 Goals
• Fully incorporate roots tubers and bananas trial data from the CGIAR RTB team
• Other CRPs to participate• Integration with AgMIP. • Continued efforts to increase the number of
trials in the system (please contact us about your participation)
• Acquire resources to advance the initiative
