Farm Crap App
visually assesses application rates and calculate what is being provided in terms of the available nutrients. You can also obtain estimates of potential savings you may make in artificial fertilisers. It allows you to select different seasons, crops and manure type and access information on what the manure will provide in terms of fertiliser value. As outlined, there are three key components of the user interface; an input-led calculator, an image library and record sheets.
