Crop Rotation 1.3.1.65

A useful helper for farmers and anyone growing vegetables in their home garden
Getting the fields ready for planting a new crop needs some preparations and requires quite a bit of knowledge to obtain the best results at harvest time.

Those who want to keep a close eye on the evolution of the plants in their fields and seedbeds can turn to some digital assistants like the Windows Phone application called Crop Rotation.

Unadorned but well organized layout

This utility comes with a clean interface, where all the functions and commands are placed conveniently at hand and easy to access. Going from one section of the app to another is done smoothly, with no lags or other types of flaws.

The information is presented in a clear manner, with the visualizations having a really nice look, thanks to the well designed graphics that also have appropriate color schemes.

Manage plants, fields and seedbeds on the fly

With the help of Crop Rotation you will be able to easily monitor the fields you planted and prepare the succession of the crops. The seedbed section contains all the vegetables for which you activated this option when adding or editing their database entries.

Very useful is the timeline feature of this utility that makes it possible for you to watch over the crops. The plant groups can be also customized and new entries added, each with a separate color and rotation plan that can range between 2 and 5 years.

Get tile notifications and sync the data with your OneDrive account

This application is able to provide a handy backup and restore functionality, as it can transfer all the information about your crops to the cloud. Synchronizing it with OneDrive takes a few taps and in a couple of minutes you should have everything safely stored.

Inside the "Timeline" section you can activate for each field one of the two markers available, namely the live tile notification or the check mark that stands for a completed crop.

The application is perfectly safe to use since it doesn't even come near any sensitive areas of the system while it is functioning.

The amount of power necessary to keep this app up and running properly is a bit above average, so the battery usage will go above moderate.

The excellent value provided by this utility makes this tool a one to have for anyone interested in watching over the rotation of the cultivated plants.
