Abstract

It is presented the creation of a management information system of the available varieties of georeferenced basic grains in Carazo released by the Nicaraguan Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA), between 2007 and 2015, which contributes greatly to the management of information on these. Developed by the Research and Technological Development Unit of the Facultad Regional Multidisciplinaria de Carazo (FAREM-Carazo), with support from the Research Funds (FPI) of UNAN-Managua; that allows entering information of the characteristics, geographic location, and analysis of the suitability of the plots concerning the varieties of basic grains. The investigation resulted in: the analysis of the system requirements, the alternatives for the digitization of the temperature, rainfall, altitude and soil type maps of the Carazo department, also the layout of the maps, as well as the choice of an alternative technology analysis, design, development, and implementation with solidly structured components. This product allows the efficient management of varieties and real-time analysis of the biophysical conditions of the plots for the determination of which varieties of basic grains are adaptable to them, making use of the C # Programming Language and the ArcGis Online platform for Map management and administration automatically.
