DiverCILand (Diversity of Crops In Landscape) is a data management web application. The development started in 2019, in the context of the European Horizon 2020 RustWatch project. This project aims to establish a stakeholder driven early-warning system to improve preparedness and resilience to emerging rust diseases on wheat in Europe. DiverCILand makes possible to store varieties description and manage DUS and VCUS data, description data of cultivated landscape and also genetic data on variety characterization.
DiverCILand offers a set of visualization interfaces with variety card, containing accession information, interfaces presenting life cycles of varieties and varieties deployment. The power of DiverCILand is its ability to generate maps based on varietal deployment in Europe. In the context of the RustWatch project, this tool therefore allows to centralize, manage and capitalize on data useful to study wheat resistance to rust epidemics in Europe.
