Multiple breeding programs can be created for each species. ![seedling](https://pf-emoji-service--cdn.us-east-1.prod.public.atl-paas.net/standard/caa27a19-fc09-4452-b2b4-a301552fd69c/64x64/1f331.png) Select New Program. ![System Administration page with programs listed](https://breedinginsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-20230629-172326-1024x429.png) ## BI Program Name Standards **Program Name** The BI standard is a combination of the city/town where the USDA facility or main breeding operations will take place and the species of interest (eg. Pecan-Somerville). **Program Key** The BI standard is a 6-letter abbreviation (eg. PECSOM). The first 3 letters should be the species key (eg. Sugarbeet = SGB). The second 3 letters should be the first three letters of the program location or a three-letter combination that phonetically represents the program location (eg. Fort Collins = FOR). **Current Species Keys** Alfalfa (ALF), Blackberry (BBY), Blueberry (BLU), Citrus (CIT), Coffee (COF), Cranberry (CRB), Cucumber (CCB), Grape (GRP), Hemp (HMP), Honeybee (HYB), Hop (HOP). Hydrangea (HYD), Lettuce (LTC), Oat (OAT), Pecan (PEC), Potato (PTO), Raspberry (RAS), Red clover (RDC), Salmon (SLM), Sorghum (SGM), Strawberry (STB), Sugar beet (SGB), Sugarcane (SGR), Sweetpotato (SWP), Trout (TRO) ![seedling](https://pf-emoji-service--cdn.us-east-1.prod.public.atl-paas.net/standard/caa27a19-fc09-4452-b2b4-a301552fd69c/64x64/1f331.png) Specify program name, species, and program key. *Species are established by your database administrator, generally Breeding Insight.
