Smart Phone Apps Development

  1. CropWater App. 2010 (lead author). The CropWater App was developed for iPhone and iPad provides an easy way to estimate soil water status based on Watermark soil matric potential sensors installed at soil depths of 1, 2 and 3 feet. With these sensor readings, the app will estimate the crop water used as well as what available soil water is remaining in the profile for typical Nebraska soils. The user can also see historic sensor readings and graph the data. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crop-water/id557926049?mt=8.
  2. CornSoyWater App. 2015 (co-author). This web-based and mobile app helps irrigators determine in real-time the available soil-water in a field and determines when to irrigate. Using real-time weather data and field-specific crop information provided by the user, the app uses simulation to track (from planting to current date) crop water use, water inputs from rainfall and irrigation, soil-water to the maximum rooting depth and crop water stress. http://hprcc-agron0.unl.edu/cornsoywater/.
