Technical manual series on Community Seed Banks Manual 2 – Community Seed Banks: Documentation systems: a tool for data and information management

Conserving germplasm in community seed banks is important for making certain plant varieties and mixtures that are not easily available on the commercial market accessible to a community of interested users. However, the value of any collection, including those which are maintained in a community setting, is strongly related to the quantity, type, and quality of the information associated with it and to its accessibility to users, who are in this way enabled to make informed choices, based on their specific needs and preferences. With this second manual, you will learn how to manage your CSB database.
