Optimized trial setup and crop monitoring at Van der Voort

Challenge: maintaining control over cultivation trials

Van der Voort conducts numerous cultivation trials, ranging from new breeding varieties and substrate and fertilization modifications to innovative crop protection strategies.

Since trials are frequently relocated within the cultivation process—from one site to another—overview is often lost, making it difficult to ensure consistency in evaluation and follow-up.

Solution: a centralized and accessible system

With Log & Solve, Van der Voort monitors trials from start to finish, ensuring centralized documentation and standardized assessment points. How does it work?

• Standardized trial registration. Trials are recorded from the beginning by the breeding department.
• QR code. Each trial is assigned a QR code, simplifying data entry and real-time tracking of trials.
• Consistent evaluation. Fixed checklists ensure standardized and objective assessments at multiple cultivation stages.
• Insights into anomalies. Pest infestations, diseases, and cultivation interventions are accurately documented.
• Clear final evaluation. All data is systematically stored in the logbook, forming the foundation for a well-founded assessment.

Measurable results: transparency and faster decision-making

Thanks to Log & Solve, Van der Voort has full control over cultivation trials and can make faster, well-supported decisions on the success of a new method or variety.

“Only with fully transparent insights into cultivation trials can we fairly judge whether a new variety has been successful. This allows us to make the right choices.”

Moreover, evaluations are conducted uniformly by all, ensuring consistent and analyzable data.
