This article provides a review and update of some of the current “non-agricultural apps.” These apps can assist everyone and are for general use, such as e-readers, calculators, email, calendars, checking the speed of your internet connection, picture editing, and more.
This is the last article of the Ag-Apps series of annual reviews and updates from our KSUCROPS Crop Production team (led by Dr. Ciampitti) and the K-State Department of Agronomy. Check all the previous categories in the previous nine editions of our Agronomy eUpdate newsletter.
NOTE: These apps are all available as of the time this article is published. Alterations or changes in availability could occur, affecting the ability to access these apps.
For this series of articles, we have grouped Ag-Apps into the following 10 classifications:
- ID Apps: For identification purposes (weeds, insects, diseases, and nutrients)
- CALC Apps: For calculating purposes (nutrient removal calculations, tank mixes, volume to spray, etc.)
- SCOUT Apps: For scouting purposes or for geo-positioning (soil sampling, recording notes, soil types, etc.).
- ECON Apps: For checking grain prices, market evolutions, fertilizer price trends, news and finances.
- FIELD GUIDE Apps: For diagnosing crop production issues in the field, primarily related to field guides (crop management: insect, disease, weed, and more).
- LIVESTOCK Apps: Apps related to the animal side, nutrition, health, and information on markets.
- IRRIGATION Apps: Apps related to field crop irrigation and water application.
- MACHINERY Apps: Apps for associated with agricultural equipment preparation, inventory, providing information of the machine.
- GENERAL AG Apps: GAG (general Ag-Apps) for general use, weather-related, for meetings, for reading magazines, among several other Apps’ properties.
- NON-AG Apps: For general use from e-readers to calculators, email, calendar, picture editing, and more.
