Abstract
Smartphone and tablet technology innovates knowledge delivery and decision support for farmer-entrepreneurs and agriculture extension workers. Through software application tool (app), farm and crop data can be organized, stored, retrieved and reprocessed to provide just-in-time knowledge, and simple information. In this new kind of systems users will be empowered for more knowledge-based and informed decision making. The authors present the implementation design of a mobile app tool called AgRiDOC App, which allows users to record day-to-day major farming and management operations and monitor rice crop growth. Using the app, users are able to quickly and easily keep track of their activities and expenditures. It has a geo-visualization feature which allows users to view and geotag their farms through satellite maps. The app also provides important information such as the primary needs and concerns of the rice crop for every crop age and growth stage, recommendations from the PalayCheck System. In addition, it gives comprehensive descriptions of released rice varieties, and links to rice knowledge banks and other tools and websites. AgRiDOC App works on Android devices, and is available in Google PlayStore for free. It has now more than 500 registered users.
