PhenoGlad

PhenoGlad Mobile is a mobile version of the mathematical model that simulates the phenology of the gladiolus culture called “PhenoGlad”, created at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). The app is a hybrid web-mobile application and can be installed on any cell phone or tablet, regardless of their operating system. The application works completely offline, avoiding a frequent obstacle for rural technologies, which is internet connectivity, a factor that contributes to the application having field applications, as it aims to provide several features for monitoring gladiolus cultivation for the state from Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and Santa Catarina (SC). One of the main features of the application is the possibility for the user to select whether to provide the desired date of sale of the gladiolus stalks or the date of planting of the bulbs. If the desired date of marketing is provided, the application will provide as a result the date on which the bulbs must be planted to harvest the stems on the desired date or, if the planting date is informed, the application will provide the date as a result. of marketing this cut flower. The PhenoGlad Mobile application interface also has the option to select one of the phases of the ENSO phenomenon (El Niño-South Oscillation), thus increasing the accuracy of the results, as the ENSO phenomenon influences gladiolus development in RS and SC. This tool can be used in teaching, research and extension, by undergraduate and graduate students, professors, researchers, producers and extension workers.
