App for crop fertiliser inputs

[dannewhouse]

Is there an interactive app that you can add up fertiliser and manure inputs etc to a crop requirement.
Also one that you can put field soil test results in so the requirement is taylered to the crop and field requirements.possibly showing the previous year(s) for the unavailable nutrients.

I've just done the bulk of a nutrient plan for someone, can just use a calculator or a spreadsheet.

Green light grower will automate the process and allow the addition of soil test results and then you can use it to generate recommendations for fertiliser etc.

Farmplan Gatekeeper does all the above.

I'll get me coat.

Planet? www.planet4farmers.co.uk Though perhaps that is considered a software program rather than a trendy app

The reviews say it isn't interactive so may as well be the paper copy

Not bothered if it is on laptop probably keep it together and saved.
Just wanted to play with different compounds to see how near I could get to recommendations, seen as I have some very varying indices.

I’ve never tried it. I do mine on Gatekeeper for N and SOYL do my P and K recs so I apply straights at variable rates.

How up to date is it? ADAS were slow about updating it last time RB209 was rewritten. Perhaps the AHDB wouldn’t sign off the budget. Good piece of software in its day and still worth a look. Doing recs is a desktop exercise anyway IMO.

If your handy with a spreadsheet you could make your own !

I've tried Planet and I lost the will to live just looking at it. Not for me.

I was trained to use planet about 10 years ago by local catchment sensitive area team.
Dreadful piece of software for Grassland farmers to use. Must have been written by people who could not get a proper job writing useable software .
