Researchers and Crop Scientists

Collecting and transcribing field research data has always been a tedious process followed by long hours (and transcription errors) entering clip-board data into the computer.  We have automated the field data planning, capture and transcription process for a more efficient and accurate researcher solution. 

Timely and accurate process management tools for crop and product research.

The cropIQ system brings together and automates all the organization, field note taking, data transcription, and tracking for researchers and crop scientists.  You will be able to gather more data with less resources and greater accuracy.

• You decide what information you need using the cropIQ^TM Field Manager software: locations, treatments, desired observations and field instrument readings.  An array of cropIQ-compatible instruments and field tools facilitate quick and easy measurement of crop and soil conditions.
• You and your students or staff then collect the necessary information while in the field using the cropIQ^TM Field Recorder software running on a ruggedized hand-held (PDA) qualified by Precision Plant Systems for compatibility, ruggedness and functionality.  Field observations are entered with a simple finger press on the I-Phone-like interface and are time- and GPS-stamped, along with easy-entered field instrument measurements.
• At the office, all the field-collected information is automatically uploaded into the database using the cropIQ^TM Analyst software. Optionally, the data can be made securely available over the internet to any password-enabled user. Your entire staff will be able to retrieve timely and accurate data for improved decision making regardless of location.
• Finally, export the information you have gathered in the .csv format for use with your own analysis tools, or use our maps, reports, tabular data, and summaries built on the data to give you and your colleagues detailed information in an easy-to-use format for better insight.
