Introducing the Semios and ApRecs Integration

Written by Semios | Sep 1, 2022 8:43:47 PM

Since ApRecs joined Semios in 2021, our teams have been focused on bringing more combined value to our customers.

We're excited to announce that we have simplified the application record writing process by automatically populating Semios weather data in your ApRecs form with just one click.

This integration also closes the pest management loop showing applied sprays and the on-farm pest conditions - including degree days and trap catches - to provide a clearer picture of your program’s impact. This gives you an enhanced view of your Semios pest and disease dashboards with ApRecs spray application timing data, all in one place.

 

Semios’ ApRecs Integration Overview

ApRecs connects your information and streamlines record keeping from start to finish, easily adapting to changes along the way. Everyone is on the same page with real-time work status, re-entry and pre-harvest Intervals, and inventory, so you can spend more time farming and less time with paperwork.

 

See how application timings line up with Semios weather and pest data to improve results.

 

Key Features

  • Save time completing application records in ApRecs by automatically fetching temperature and wind data from your closest Semios weather station.
  • Works seamlessly across mobile and desktop so that records can be automatically finished when the work is done, saving time and reducing errors.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of your sprays by seeing how your previous application timings line up against temperature, trap count, pest phenology, and disease risk data on the Semios pest and disease pages.

How It Works

1. Set up a secure connection between your ApRecs and Semios account by submitting a signed copy of the ApRecs & Semios Data Sharing Authorization Form to support@aprecs.us, and our team will contact you once this process is complete.

 

2. On the ApRecs platform: When viewing an Application, click the “Get Weather / Clima” button to autofill temperature and wind data.

Autofill your application records with the most accurate temperature and wind data directly from your closest Semios weather station.

3. On the Semios platform: You can view your ApRecs spray application timings on the following pages:

  • Pest Control details page
    • See how your sprays are lining up with cumulative degree days and pest trap catches on the Daily Analysis page:
    • Compare the differences between the current and the previous season’s spray application timing, degree days progression, and pest activity on the Compare Seasons page:
    • Currently available for codling moth, obliquebanded leafroller, and oriental fruit moth -
      From the Pest Phenology page, track how your spray timing lines up with the predicted high-impact treatment windows based on either the regional pest phenology model or the Semios site-specific model (which is based on 2+ years of on-farm Semios climate and pest data):
  • Disease Control details page
    • See how your sprays are lining up with disease risk:


Requirements

  • Any ApRecs Paid Grower Account with the Semios Insights Integration activated
