• NUTMON Toolbox v3.5 available FOR FREE! JV
Version 3.5 of the NUTMON Toolbox is now available. This will be the last version of the Nutmon Toolbox because our efforts will now concentrate on MonQI, the NUTMON successor that focuses less on soil nutrients and more on livelihoods, environment and certification.
We therefore decided to make the current version of the NUTMON Toolbox free for any use. You can find the download links on the download page or download it directly from the MonQI site.
Compared to the previous version this version has some minor bug fixes but also includes the possibility to export data on household members and off-farm income.

• NUTMON Toolbox v3.0 available J. Vlaming
Version 3.0 of the NUTMON Toolbox is now available. The most important changes compared to the previous version are:

- registration of crop varieties and date of flow.
- possibility to enter and present results in the local language.
- exporting your results directly to an Access database for further processing.
The demo version can be downloaded from the dowload page under | Toolbox | Download | by both registered and unregistered users. Please read the installation instructions first!

• NUTMON Toolbox is used in complex vegetable farming systems in China and Vietnam MS van Wijk
A tailor-made version of the NUTMON Toolbox is currently used to monitor complex vegetable farming systems in China and Vietnam. This is done within the framework of the VEGSYS project, in which researchers from a large range of disciplinary background cooperate with farmer field schools to develop and design improved vegetable production technologies. One of the features of the NUTMON Toolbox VEGSYS version is that pests and diseases, which are identified on the fields of farmers, can be monitored with the software as well. If you are interested in the VEGSYS project then visit the VEGSYS website, or read more about this project on this page of the NUTMON website.
