Crop Decision Making Tools
| Seeding | |
| Forage Seed Mixture Calculator (On-line Version) | Grassland species are normally seeded in mixtures rather than monocultures. This calculator will calculate a mix and estimate a seed density for drills or broadcast seedings for any grouping of forage species in the calculator list |
| Cereal Seeding Calculator | This calculator determines how much seed is needed to plant a cereal crop with the desired plant density and includes seed drill calibration information. |
| Peas, Pulses and other large seeds Calculator | This calculator determines how much seed is needed to plant a crop with the desired plant density and includes seed drill calibration information. |
| General | |
| Variety Yield and Performance Data | Crop Information Portal - provides performance and yield data for the major field crops grown in Alberta. |
| Rural Water Quality Information Tool | This on-line tool assesses the quality and suitability of raw water sources for livestock, irrigation or mix water for chemical spraying. |
| Irrigation Water Allocation Calculator | This calculator estimates how long it will take to use up an allocation of water. |
| Grains, Forage and Straw Nutrient Use | This calculator will help you to understand how much nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, and calcium your crop will use for a given yield. |
| Alberta Management Insights (AMI) | Crop variety and yield information is reported by producers to AFSC and organized by township, soil zone, and crop risk area. |
| Cost of Production | |
| Crop Enterprise | This calculator allows you to estimate costs and revenues on a per acre basis for a set of selected crops within a given soil zone. |
| Money Map | Farmers can now see how their yields vary across a field, year after year. |
| CropChoice$ | This software helps crop producers predict revenues and margins for their crop enterprise, as well as the chance of achieving those levels. |
| Grain Measurement | |
| Grain Shrinkage Calculator | Calculates the loss of volume and weight which occurs whenever wet grain is dried. |
| Test Weight Converter | Converting back and forth between kg/hL and lb/bushel |
| Dollars/Bushel : Dollars/Tonne Converter | Converting between Dollars/Bushel and Dollars/Tonne for various grains |
| Bushel/Tonne Converter | Converting between Bushel / Tonne for various grains |
| Pesticides | |
| Pesticide Selector | The Pesticide Selector will help you choose registered pesticides to control disease and insect problems in your crops. |
| Herbicide Selector | The Herbicide Selector will help you choose registered herbicides to control weed problems. |
| Crop and Forage Nutrient Use | |
| AFFIRM V2.0 Software | This software helps crop producers make fertilizer nutrient decisions based on soil test results, crops to be grown, soil moisture conditions, agro-climatic regions and economic factors of crop prices and fertilizer nutrient costs. |
