PLANT & SOIL HEALTH
Making the grade
Data collection
tool expands farm
management
BY GARY PULLANO
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A
n economical digital tool
that tracks plant health that
originated in the field crops
sector is now available to specialty
crop producers.
Its initial entry in specialty crops,
My Efficient Vineyard (MyEV), is an
open-access tool now used with
multiple commodities to integrate
data into detailed maps that can aid
farm management decision-making.
The free software used to collect,
process and use spatial data on
a farm was discussed during
presentations at the Southwest
Michigan Horticultural Days in
February at Lake Michigan College
in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
" The system offers an efficient
method to visualize such variables
as crop nutrition data and plant
growth results, " said Jennifer Russo,
Extension viticulture specialist at
Cornell University.
The tool uses a system to measure,
model and manage vital variables
in crop production. MyEV uses
agricultural sensors to collect data on
vineyard soils, canopy development,
crop size and fruit quality.
It integrates sensor data and
directed field measurements
into useful information for crop
production managers. It then
develops variable-rate field/
vineyard/orchard prescription maps
to improve yield and quality, lower
production costs and conserve labor
and environmental resources.
Users are able to build maps,
obtain spatial data from farms
or research plots and upload and
manage data in the MyEV platform.
