Two agricultural management software were successfully developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s (STJU) Digital Agricultural Laboratory recently, which indicates a new step towards multi-disciplinary cooperation.

The newly developed software, 'HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) management system of exported vegetables' and 'JDW management system of pit plate seeding and planting', upgrade the agriculture management to a digital level.

Professor Huang Danfeng who is in charge of the project, from the School of Agriculture and Biology and STJU, stated, "Modern digital agriculture must cling to a more integrated innovation. Modern agricultural is not a simple process of seeding, planting and manufacturing. It is also an integration of information management and intellectual mechanical technology."

Since the 1999 merger of STJU and Shanghai Agricultural College, the STJU has strongly supported the industrialization and informatization of agriculture by making full use of its advantages in the academic field. This cross discipline cooperation enhanced the innovative ability of agricultural research.

According to the blue print, the city's multi-disciplinary R&D platform of digital agriculture will increasingly expand in the near future.
