Abstract

SoilWaterApp was developed originally as a smartphone application (app) that simulates soil water balance in fallows and crops by accessing weather, soil and crop data from databases and on-farm records. Survey and interviews with users from throughout Australia identified the extent and impacts of use and usability of the app.
