Orchard Management Software :: Overview

Program Overview

The production of premium quality fruit requires the use of chemicals, fertilizers, equipment, employees, as well as a host of other activities which require tracking and recording.  Irrigation, spray programs, soil nutrition and tissue/leaf analysis, as well as tracking costs can all be used to better manage your orchard and maximize your returns.
It is important to note that GrowData’s Orchard Management System has been built from the ground up to manage orchards. Beware of programs which have been developed from broad acre software, or programs which have been designed to be used on multiple crops. They can never provide the simplicity of operation or the detail you need to effectively manage your orchard.
With one simple entry process GrowData can prepare a multitude of reports as well as keep you in compliance with Australian and overseas Quality Assurance requirements. (Including EurepGap).
