For example, a researcher may be
applying a variable rate treatment to multiple plots. By uploading
irrigations to each plot via their phone while they are in the field,
the data entry will be punctual with a higher chance of being
consistent. Upon return to their office, the information can be downloaded and saved as a comma-separated values (csv) file. In
another instance, a farmer who is physically checking the soil
moisture in a field, can open their phone and check the profile
gauge to confirm their decision to apply water. Extending further,
weather measurements within 80 km (preset WISE maximum
radius to any weather station) is useful for estimating crop progress
and adds another valuable data set at the fingertips of a user.
