Lot of mobile apps are available in 'play stores', , like reading soil temperature, leaf temperature, moisture, physiological parameters etc. Whether for scientific crop research such 'mobile apps'can be used?
Dear Swaminathan Chitraputhira Pillai,
In my opinion, mobile applications for a smartphone used to collect data, conduct readings, conduct analytics, data archiving, transfer to analytical systems such as Big Data Analytics, etc., can be helpful in conducting scientific research. However, the key issue is to make the right choice among the available mobile applications for a smartphone in terms of the specifics of the research being conducted and the type of specific research data obtained from the surrounding environment.
Best wishes,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
I have read several articles on the use of the app, for example, Canopeo App, even in scientific trials and that value obtained from crop coverage, for example, should always be corrected for the planting width and other variables. It is a tool, but it must still be corrected and determine if the data actually adjusts to reality.

Thank you@Aref Wazwaz for sharing the information. They are largely related to simulation modelling, using crop images for detecting disease/pest incidences etc. I look for using mobile apps for recording biometric/soil data etc and using the data for scientific output.
