NutriLada

Malaysian Pepper Board (MPB) has developed Pepper Nutrient Management Mobile Application known as NutriLada which serves to provide information on important nutrients for pepper cultivation as well as assisting pepper growers to identify pepper nutrient problems.The NutriLada app allows users to understand the importance of certain nutrients for the growth of pepper trees, which are under the Nutrient Management module. Important nutrients include Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Iron (I), Mangan (Mn) and Boron (B). In addition, the problem of manganese and acidic soil poisoning is included in this application. The Identify Problem module also helps users to identify the kind of nutrient problems experienced by pepper trees by means of identifying signs / symptoms / symptoms of the problem. This module displays all the possible symptoms that can be obtained from leaf and pepper trees due to nutrient problems. Once problems are identified, the submodul will provide further information on (1) function, (2) symptoms, (3) treatment and (4) pictures. This module seeks to diagnose / identify 10 types of pepper nutrient problems. In addition, there are two information modules, namely Type Module and Fertilizing Module that provide information on fertilizer management for pepper plants. The Glossary Module is a module that provides more insight into terms that are difficult to understand.This app can be used without the need for internet access, so smallholders can use this app in a garden or farm located in the interior. It is also user-friendly and accessible without limitation of location and time. This advantage enables it to assist specially peppercorn farmers in achieving pepper nutrition management information as well as increasing the effectiveness of Malaysian Pepper Board expansion activities.Copyright © 2018Malaysian Pepper Board
