Philippines
Developed by Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), Leaf Color Computing Application (LCC) is a mobile app based digital solution which is used to determine the N fertilizer needs of rice crops. LCC has four green strips, with color ranging from yellow green to dark green. It determines the greenness of the rice leaf, which indicates its N content. This app generates nitrogen recommendations in just under a minute based on the digital images of intact rice leaves photographed directly from the field.
