  • Nutrient Decision Support System (NuDSS) for Irrigated Rice: The production of this software program is an initiative of the Irrigated Rice Research Consortium to provide decision support on site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) in the irrigated lowlands. It can be used to estimate the nutrient requirements for realistic target yields in irrigated rice, select the adequate and least costly combination of quality fertilizer sources to match the nutrient requirement, decide on fertilizer split applications, and estimate the profit gained from improved nutrient and crop management programs. The content of the software is consistent with earlier publications on SSNM, including a handbook, practical guide, and IRRI's Rice Knowledge Bank.


Via IRRI:

  • Fertilizer Chooser Software: Fertilizer Chooser is the final step in preparing a fertilizer program. Fertilizer Chooser assumes that a fertilizer recommendation for balanced plant nutrition is available and helps the user to Translate a nutrient recommendation into the correct amounts of different fertilizers needed to make up the right amount of nutrients.
  • CropStat:  This is a computer program for data management and basic statistical analysis of experimental data.

  •  
  • WinBoot: This program was designed to analyze DNA fingerprints (restriction fragment length polymorphism [RFLP] banding patterns) of rice pathogens, however, any type of binary data from any source can be used as input.

  • IRRI Biodiversity Software Technical Bulletin Series: This series was designed to help researchers: 1) manage and reorganize biodiversity databases; 2) calculate, test, and bias-correct collectors' curves; 3) detect boundaries in ecological landscapes; 4) compare and performance-test extrapolation-based estimators of total taxonomic richness; and 5) detect between-sample differences in community structure.
     
  • ORYZA2000, Version 2.12: Crop modeling and systems analysis have become important tools in modern agricultural research. A crop model synthesizes our insights into the physiological and ecological processes that govern crop growth into mathematical equations. Our understanding of crop performance is tested by comparing simulation results with experimental observations, thus making the gaps in our knowledge explicit. Experiments can then be designed to fill these gaps. Once a model is validated, it can be used to help analyze and interpret field experiments. It can also be used in application-oriented research such as the design of crop ideotypes, the analysis of yield gaps, the optimization of crop management, the ex-ante analysis of the effects of climate change on crop growth, and agroecological zonation.
