  • PADE– The Purdue Agricultural Data Engine (PADE) is a cloud-based tool, designed to provide a “Simple, Intuitive, Reliable, and Innovative (SIRI)” farm data management solution for data owned by farmers and researchers.
  • UASUserLog– The UAS User Log is a server-based, digital logbook that is accessible through any web browser on internet-connected devices.​ It is an outcome of multi-state teams working together to develop a common protocol for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operation for purposes such as research/production, spray application, and any other activity of interest. It ​relies on simple user interactions to develop a record of UAS mission and can also serve to enhance your flight and maintenance experience.​
  • Indiana Water Monitoring Inventory (IWMI)– Indiana Water Monitoring Inventory (IWMI) web portal has been updated to enable finding water monitoring sites and type of data collected at those sites in Indiana (currently 5,000+ locations). The web portal allows refining the search results to a specific agency and monitored parameter. Search results can be downloaded as CSV or shapefile format. The newly designed web portal fits nicely on the screen space of a variety of digital devices. Additionally, format for a new web-based, interactive entry form has been developed with inputs from members from Indiana Water Monitoring Council. The form would allow suggestion of common values for input fields such as parameter type and provides supplemental information about HUC boundaries. It provides for selection or identification of monitoring site locations using map tool. Batch upload of monitoring sites in a spreadsheet format is also possible. The new tool also allows for setting pre-set automated reminders for verifying new entries and reviewing old data.
  • SWAT Tools– The SWAT Tools web application consists of four individual tools. These tools are aimed to enable Soil and Watershed Assessment Tool (SWAT) users to perform common, but complex, operations on input data/output data used in the model. Field SWAT helps visualize SWAT model output at a field scale. LUU Checker allows detection of emerging land uses by comparing multiple years of land use data against a base land use dataset. LUU Uncertainty allows users to input land use land cover (LULC) realizations and evaluate the impact of LULC errors on the model output. Lastly, SWAT LUU takes in multiple inputs and then provides the user with input files necessary for using the land use update (LUU) module in SWAT.
  • StreBand Cloud a web-based integrated assessment tool that integrates remote sensing images and stream centerline data to delineate streambanks and provide decision support for determining hotspots of riparian buffer along water bodies using relevant Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) guidelines.
  • FTT Cloud– a cloud-based, participatory software that stores relevant field data on remote server computers and allows users to access it through a Web browser. It was launched to help reduce misapplication of herbicides in row crops.
