Breeding operations for Cannabis & Hemp, hops, and specialty crops
Protocol-driven breeding. Audit-ready
From cross to selection, with protocols and an audit trail behind every decision.
Your team and your compliance story draw from the same system of record.
For R&D teams that need traceability without enterprise bloat.
Cannabis & Hemp, hops, and specialty breeding teams.
One place for breeding work and compliance
Pull your pipeline, protocols, and compliance into one place. Led by cannabis, hemp, and hops, open to every specialty crop you run.
From crosses and trials through harvest, one continuous record when it's time to show the work.
Shorten selection cycles
Plan crosses, advance stages, and run protocols in one workspace. Fewer handoffs, fewer lost notes.
Compliance beside the work
Set thresholds by region, run checks from protocols, and export audit history when an inspector or QA asks.
One source of truth
Registry, lineage, traits, and trials stay linked. Decisions come from the same records for everyone.
Crop-ready, not crop-locked
Traits and protocols for cannabis and hemp, hops, tomato, strawberry, and more, or define your own for any crop.
Built for teams who have to show the work
Protocols, observations, and audit history stay tied together, so reviews and inspections are about evidence, not reconstruction.
Worker-owned cooperative: software shaped by breeders, not a growth-at-all-costs roadmap.
See pricing for free tier and team plans.
Same stages, same rules, every run.
Define evaluation stages, completion rules, and required traits so each cycle is repeatable, with compliance checks landing where you need them.
- Ordered stages: germination, vegetative screen, flower evaluation, harvest, lab analysis, field trial, selection decision
- Completion rules you choose: required traits, minimum observations, share of traits filled, sign-off, or elapsed time
- Templates by crop, or fully custom protocols for any program
- Protocol-triggered compliance checks with a full audit trail
Start from crop templates or build your own; attach to a program or trial and advance when completion rules are met.
Roles that match the bench, the field, and the office
Everyone sees the stages, traits, and permissions that fit their job, without leaking data across the program.
Breeding Manager
Plan programs, set objectives, approve selections, and see pipeline health at a glance.
Field Technician
Record observations, manage inventory, and execute crosses with clear workflows.
Data Analyst
Run reports, compare trials, and analyze trait heritability with selection indices.
Organization Admin
Manage users, roles, and settings. Your org's data stays separate and secure.
Ready to run the whole pipeline in one place?
The stack your breeding program actually runs on
Programs through inventory and protocols in one system of record, not a patchwork of spreadsheets.
Protocols that hold up
Stage-based workflows with required traits and completion gates. Standardize collection and run compliance checks at the right moment.
Breeding Programs
Set objectives, track progress, and move crosses through the pipeline across programs.
Cultivar Registry
Your varieties in one place: lineage, crop-specific attributes, and pedigree views.
Cross Management
Plan, run, and track your crosses with auto-generated codes and a clear pipeline.
Trait Analytics
Selection indices, correlations, stability views, and trait charts. Compare entries with the same math you use in the app.
Compliance Ready
Regional thresholds, protocol-driven checks, and audit export when you need to show the file.
Team & data isolation
Organization-scoped data, role-based access, and a change log on every critical record.
Views that match field and lab workflows
Trial and cultivar views, keeper board, location maps: the same screens you use after you sign in.
Visual keeper selection (demo)
In pheno hunts, tap entries to cycle Pending → Keeper → Rejected. Same keeper board in the app.
Click any card to cycle: Pending → Keeper → Rejected
Locations on map (example)
Sites with coordinates. Click a marker for current weather. Add latitude and longitude in Settings → Locations to see your sites on the map.
Map of your trial locations (available in the app).
Try these views in Trial detail, Cultivar detail, and Settings → Locations.
Analytics tied to selection decisions
Distributions, selection indices, correlations, and stability. The same analyses in Trial detail and Program views.
Distribution histograms, box plots, selection index ranking, trait correlation matrix, cultivar radar, and stability (mean vs SD).
Run these in your Trial detail, Program, and Cultivar detail. Try selection index and radar charts on your own data.

Same workflow backbone for more crops with sensible defaults:
- Tomato — yield, Brix, firmness, disease resistance (early/late blight), days to maturity
- Strawberry — yield, Brix, vigor, runner production, disease resistance, flavor
- Blueberry — chilling requirements, fruit size, firmness, flavor, disease resistance (mummy berry, phytophthora)
- Pepper — fruit weight, pungency (SHU), color, shape, disease resistance, days to maturity
- Lettuce — head size, bolt resistance, tip burn, disease resistance (downy mildew, lettuce drop), shelf life
- Grape — Brix, acidity, cluster weight, disease resistance (powdery mildew, downy mildew), cold hardiness
- Raspberry — fruit size, firmness, flavor, primocane vs floricane, disease resistance, cold tolerance
- Other — custom traits and protocols; extend the platform for any specialty crop

Frequently asked questions
What crops can I use?
Cannabis and hemp, hops, tomato, strawberry, blueberry, pepper, lettuce, grape, raspberry, and more ship with traits and templates. Add custom traits and protocols for any specialty crop.
How do you handle THC compliance for hemp?
We apply THC limits by region (e.g. US 0.3%, EU 0.2%) and run checks from your protocols. Audit log and exports support what regulators and internal QA typically ask for.
Does Cultivar replace Metrc or state traceability?
No. Cultivar covers breeding and pre-commercial R&D. Keep using your state traceability system (e.g. Metrc) for seed-to-sale or post-harvest where required.
How do I get access?
Sign up free at cultivar.green. No invite needed. Spin up an organization in minutes, then invite teammates from Settings → Team.
What's included in the free tier?
The free tier includes programs, cultivars, crosses, trials, traits, and inventory with audit logging. See pricing for seat and program limits.
