walk around the nursery and audit the plants is a mundane job for raiser . outfit with a notepad and an EC metre , growers are doing their Book of Job . Feeling , smelling , find : " Hey , seems like a pestilence " and " oh , those plants look kind of ironic " . Let ’s drop a line that down . But then … a quick sound call in between and before the grower actualise it , he either forget about it or loses the note .
By using Log & Solve , a digital cultivation manual of arms and logbook arise by substrate manufacturer Klasmann - Deilmann , forgetting or losing is a thing of the yesteryear . And that will certainly help agriculturalist to optimize their cultivation , say Co - Anne van Waaij .
Over the past 2.5 yr , she has been nearly involved in the development of the prick that make it possible to amass various relevant crop information in one cardinal property and thereby gain new perceptiveness . " Log & Solve also help the agriculturist to gradually make the modulation to more renewable raw materials in Klasmann - Deilmann ’s substrates . The new recipes require some polish adaptation . Log & Solve helps with this . With the digital finish logbook , a cultivator can supervise the finish using , among other things , notes , photo , soil samples to track the nutrient status of the crop and moisture sensing element for the water balance in the newfangled intermixture . ”
Co - Anne visit a grower
Fast and hands - on rolloutLog & Solve was roll out internationally in 2020 . Pretty quick for an entirely novel putz for which growing started halfway through 2018 . “ We have chosen for a thin startup method acting . This mean that you go in the market quickly ” , says Fons van Nierop , Head of Sales at Klasmann - Deilmann Benelux . “ This way of life , you may build a organisation very precisely with the practical noesis . ” Co - Anne : " All the features that are now include matter and are based on the ideas of growers and what they take on in exercise . ”
They depart by visiting the growers . This yield three challenges . grower indicate that they had no space to build and safeguard their cultivation specific knowledge , to increasingly receive information from reference that are not interconnected , and often solve problems in a responsive way instead of being able to forbid it . Log & Solve must deal with these challenges .

Multiple pick and photosA twelve growers were given the opportunity to screen the first version(s ) of the putz in recitation . " We learned a mass from that , " says Co - Anne . “ For instance , it was clear that growers need a multiple - choice choice when enter data on the fluid phone . In the nursery , this is faster than typecast and you also invalidate confusion , for exemplar about cutting / trimming . An object lesson of two words that are used interchangeably in practice as it turned out . ”
picture are also important in the logbook . " picture give growers a good idea of how the finish is progressing or they help to capture a sure lack with an image . By using QR code for the lots , a CAT scan of the QR with your Mobile River can immediately permit you add together a note or photo to the logbook . ”

ProactiveLog & Solve enables raiser to continuously see from old cultivation cycles . “ By recording data digitally , it is easier to calculate back at it in two year to see how thing were going . This can be done in the ' logbook ' which is automatically generated per culture after capturing notes , photos , and information such as substrate analyses and weather data point . In addition , the comparison tool was late set in motion . This shaft allow you to compare unlike cultivations . By compare the logs , the grower discovers differences and the lessons can be used in a new finish bike . ”
incorporate into the tool is the Basic Fertilizing Advice to provide ground samples with target time value for the intact refinement history . " This way , trends can be identified and possibly the cause of problem relate to the nutritional condition of the harvest as well . ”
Growers would rather prevent than cure . " Being proactive was something the growers were well-defined about . With the large amounts of data point that are available nowadays about a harvest this is potential , but it is important to compact the information . That ’s what we did . As a result , growers can set up notifications and get a preview of their cultivation based on retiring information . ”
Growers pay an annual fee for using Log & Solve reckon on their use and for up to three refinement pages the political platform is free . " depend on how many culture they come after and the add - ons that growers want to practice , they ante up extra , " says Co - Anne . Click here to enlarge
culture standardAn extra advantage of notifications and the logbook is that even if the main grower is sick or leave of absence , the quality of the polish is ensure . “ With ever - growing greenhouses , the risk of infection of a run out batch or polish is too great nowadays . Log & Solve can serve up as a manual that collect datum on substrate selection , pests , fertilisation , irrigation , and outdoor conditions . you’re able to think of it as a culture standard for a grower . Also , it is utilitarian if there are multiple locations and you strive for received Cartesian product quality . ”
Unique to Log & Solve is that growers can go into great detail about their cultivation . " Useful for growers with many different motley of locoweed plants , but also a hemangioma simplex grower with multiple mixed bag and different planting schedule . Other system furnish data point for an total greenhouse , we can help the grower to soar in on a specific batch . ”
For gruelling results , as in " after using Log & Solve I had ten pct less fallout " it is too early . Although it may take place in the future . “ We keep on to break Log & Solve and are for good example busy with building in ‘ impudent alerts ’ . As presently as that feature article is released , the users can immediately make use of it . "
