Augmented-human field inspection tools for automated phenotyping systems and agronomy tools

A system for plant phenotyping, comprising:

• a handheld agronomist tool including:
• a computing device having a memory that carries instructions for collecting observations about plants in a field;
• at least one camera for observing the plants;
• a first sensor coupled to the computing device and configured to record a body position of a trainer while the trainer collects at least one of a first set of observations in the field;
• and
• a second sensor coupled to the computing device and configured to record a location of the trainer simultaneously with recording the body position;
• wherein the instructions are generated by a trait extraction model based on processing the first set of observations about the plants collected by a trainer, wherein the instructions instruct a trainee to observe the plants or to execute plant treatments.
