One key to increasing adoption of biologically based Integrated Pest Management (bioIPM) systems is to correctly utilize existing information. Managing complex information can be difficult and growers currently use a variety of systems to manage the data on their own farms. Usually, data are maintained on file for year-to-year comparisons, but are not statistically analyzed against other factors. To aid growers in data management systems, the development of an easy to use, on-farm, computerized management system, which could be used to organize and manage such detailed information, is essential. In the fall of 2001, the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers (WPVGA) began work toward developing an industry-wide database system to aid growers in their data management and decision-making processes while also aiding the industry with analyzing trends and determining research priorities based on that data. Through this effort, the RealToolbox Farm Information Management System Database for Wisconsin potato and vegetable growers was developed.
