It is brought to you by the world leader in biological crop control, Koppert Biological Systems, Inc. iPM gives farmers, crop consultants, PCAís, or other professionals in the agricultural industry a unique tool to monitor their fields with GPS precision and greenhouses remotely, where after their results are readily available in an online Dashboard. iPM allows the user to collect, map, graph and organize all scouting data and treatments for all their fields. A few of the many features: • Maps and templates are customizable for any crop, pest and scouting technique. • Koppert iPM is an all-in-one tool designed to connect scouting, analysis, treatments and management. • Centralized data storage that is accessible from anywhere with any device with internet. • eadily available analysis and data visualization to examine hotspots, trends over time, or the efficacy of biological or chemical applications. iPM requires a valid and current Koppert iPM user account.

DROPSIGHT is an application that, when used in conjunction with LEAFLAB (the mobile UV photography laboratory) and UVIEW (the UV tracer used in the spray application), will turn your smart phone into a spray deposition analysis tool on natural leaf surfaces. This is used to compare the deposition achieved with different spray application apparatus and calibrations, hence optimizing the use of pesticides, insecticides, fungicides and growth regulators in commercial agricultural production.
