idCROP

Irrigation Decision Support System for Conserving Resources and Optimizing Production

Image of three smartphones displaying login and two results screenshots from the Irrigation Decision Support System for Conserving Resources and Optimizing Production (idCROP) mobile application.
A producer-friendly crop model- and sensor-based irrigation decision support system designed to provide real-time irrigation schedules and projected economic outcomes based on water use and production goals. The system uses management information from the user in conjunction with externally sourced data, including projected short-term weather, and generates crop growth and economic model scenarios. Remote detection of plant water stress using a sensor platform mounted on a pivot irrigation system improves irrigation schedules. Demonstrated with cotton in the Texas Rolling Plains region.
Sponsor: State of Texas
  • Competencies: Modeling & Simulation, Data Fusion, Decision Support
  • Industries: Agriculture, Local & State of Texas

IES

Infrastructure and Essential Services

INFORMS

International Framework for Outbreak Response Modeling and Simulation

Screenshot of the International Framework for Outbreak Response Modeling and Simulation (INFORMS) web application displaying scenarios across the top and scenario result graphs along the bottom.
A simulation-based environment for modeling the spread of a disease within livestock or poultry, effectiveness of potential disease response and control strategies, and the associated monetary costs. The system enables parameterization, management, distributed execution and aggregation of results, supporting “what-if” analysis and comparison of strategies by epidemiologists and responders in order to understand and assess potential disease events and their associated impacts.

Phylogenetic Analysis Analyst Workstation

Screenshot of the AgConnect phylogenetics dashboard consisting of a 2D map overlayed with various icon markers. The map is surrounded by numerous dashboard components, including a circular dendogram displaying gene diversity.
A system to investigate strain movement and divergence across both time and space, as well as track and compare disease history and spread across animal production systems. The system integrates sequence data from multiple sources, incorporates different sequence alignment, comparison, and tree construction tools, and provides various visualization and analysis tools for working with the data. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.
