Agricultural Research Manager (ARM) - Tara Z.

Have you ever thought about incorporating research trials for students to conduct in your class? A big part of any research project is data collection and organization. A great program designed specifically to analyze and set up agricultural research trials is a program called ARM, or Agricultural Research Manager.

ARM, according to its website, is "software for establishing, managing, and summarizing of herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, seed/variety, and fertilizer on single field or greenhouse trials. ARM produces the reports required for successful and timely trial management. Summary reports include integrated statistical analysis that automatically selects appropriate analysis of variance according to selected statistical design. Respected standard throughout crop protection industry in over 70 countries, many companies and hundreds of universities".

Using this program would help ensure correct analysis of tests performed, while also giving students a chance to use a data computer program and learn about statistics.
