ClimMobTools

ClimMobTools provides tools for data analysis and project management within the ClimMob platform, enabling experimental citizen science in agriculture through decentralized, large-N trials using the tricot approach.

Key Features:

• Tricot approach support: Enables triadic comparisons of technology options, allowing farmers to make simple comparisons between crop varieties or other agricultural technologies tested on farms.
• Experimental design: Supports design of experiments through R packages available on CRAN.
• Data analysis: Provides data analysis capabilities through R packages available on CRAN.
• Project management: Facilitates management of experimental citizen science projects in agriculture.
• Decentralized trial support: Supports decentralized, large-N trials for on-farm testing of crop varieties and other agronomic options.

Scientific Applications:

• Crop variety testing: Supports on-farm testing and comparison of crop varieties by farmers.
• Agronomic option evaluation: Enables farmer-based evaluation of agricultural technologies and agronomic options.
• Experimental citizen science in agriculture: Facilitates large-scale, decentralized agricultural research involving farmer participation.
• Data-driven decision-making: Supports evidence-based decision-making for farmers, breeders, and other agricultural decision-makers.

Methodology:

The tricot (triadic comparisons of technology options) approach allows farmers to make simple comparisons between crop varieties or other agricultural technologies tested on farms. Data analysis and experimental design are implemented through R packages.
