Agronomix Software, Inc. of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and VSN International of Hemel Hempstead, UK, have formed a strategic alliance for their respective software businesses.

Most importantly, they have developed a direct and dynamic software link between their two software packages. This link opens many new possibilities for the management and analysis of research data for agronomists and plant breeders.

AGROBASE Generation II™ from Agronomix Software is a comprehensive database management and analysis system used worldwide by agronomists and plant breeders.

GenStat® is a statistical software package used worldwide, with many advanced statistical procedures and other capabilities relevant to the agricultural and biological sciences. Indeed, GenStat® originates from the Rothamstead Experiment Station in the UK where modern statistics began with Sir Ronald Fisher.

This strategic alliance between Agronomix Software and VSN International will strengthen agricultural research by providing “the best of both worlds” – comprehensive, relational data management via Generation II and advanced statistical analyses via GenStat.

“GenStat is a renowned statistical package used worldwide with a strong history of developing statistical analyses relevant to agricultural field trials,” says Agronomix President Dieter K. Mulitze, Ph.D. “Since the focus of AGROBASE Generation II is field research data, this collaboration offers some exciting possibilities for agronomists, plant breeders, and plant scientists.”

Specifically, users of Generation II who also license GenStat may easily access the advanced statistical capabilities of GenStat -- such as REML, mixed model, spatial, multivariate analyses, nonparametric analyses, and much more – from within Generation II. Generation II users can view their experiments or entire trials with data and with a GenStat stored in Generation II, perform a GenStat analysis directly from within Generation II.

VSN International has released a new GenStat procedure library so that its registered users can store means and related statistics from ANOVA and REML or mixed-model analyses directly in Generation II via a new interface developed in Generation II by Agronomix Software. The new procedure library with documentation are available directly from VSN International.
