“At Tradecorp we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in crop nutrition solutions and we hope that the app will translate this advice into the fields so that it can be used to identify crop needs and identify solutions as and when needed.”

 

Scope of the Tradecorp App


  1. Crop Needs

 

Covering key arable crops cereals, oilseed rape, potatoes, as well as apples, pears, cabbage and maize, users can easily access key information on all of the main requirements of the crop, how and why they are needed by particular crops and identify the best Tradecorp solutions for each crop to improve yields and quality.

 

  1. Nutrient Deficiencies

 

Advisors and farmers can easily access a wide range of crop deficiency photos that cover the main deficiencies for each crop type. Once the deficiency is identified a solution can be easily accessed.

 

  1. Tank mixes

 

In order to simplify the time and process for preparing the spray to its optimum activity, the app provides users with all the information needed for tank mixes, clearly outlining the spray order and compatibilities.

 

  1. Water clinic tool

 

The water clinic tool available on the app is designed to optimise the quality of spray water by adjusting the mix for water pH and hardness; which can be done by simply calculating the correct dose of Spray Plus to add to the tank.

 

  1. Product directory

 

The App will also allow users access the complete range of Tradecorp speciality fertilisers and micronutrients providing simple but concise information on individual crops, at each growth stage, a list of contents and any necessary warnings.

 

The free of charge app is available in the UK and Ireland, and can be down loaded directly from Google Play for Android systems http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tradecorpinternational.app  and from the iTunes app store https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/tradecorp/id844358774?mt=8&uo=4
