Research Domains

Three interconnected areas of agricultural research and innovation.

🔥

Biochar Research

Track biochar production experiments, feedstock analysis, pyrolysis parameters, soil amendment trials, and carbon sequestration metrics. Models the full lifecycle from biomass to soil application.

Soil Science
💰

Grants Tracking

Manage agricultural research grants, funding sources, application deadlines, budget allocations, milestones, and reporting requirements. Links grants to active research projects.

Funding
🌾

Crop Management

Record planting schedules, growth observations, harvest data, pest/disease tracking, irrigation logs, and yield analysis. Supports multi-season comparative studies.

Agronomy

Database Schema

5 PostgreSQL schemas organizing 19 tables across research domains.

Schema Tables Purpose
public Core tables Shared reference data, users, configurations, and cross-domain lookups
biochar Experiments, feedstocks, analyses Biochar production parameters, soil amendment trials, and carbon metrics
grants Applications, budgets, milestones Grant lifecycle management from application through reporting
crops Plantings, observations, harvests Crop lifecycle data, growth tracking, and yield analysis
spatial Fields, plots, soil samples Geographic and spatial data for field trials and soil sampling grids

Custom Types (ENUMs)

9 PostgreSQL ENUM types enforcing data consistency across the platform.

feedstock_type Biomass source classification
pyrolysis_method Production technique
soil_texture USDA soil texture classes
grant_status Application lifecycle state
funding_source Grant provider category
crop_type Plant species classification
growth_stage Plant development phase
pest_category Pest/disease classification
irrigation_method Water delivery system type
