DataSolos: sistema para gestão de amostras de solo

Abstract

The management of soil samples is an essential practice in various scientific fields, particularly in agronomy and geology. In higher education institutions, such as universities, this management is crucial for the development of academic research and for providing services to related sectors. However, the lack of standardization and the absence of a centralized database have created significant challenges in storing and retrieving information about these samples. Currently, information about soil samples is stored in various formats, such as Excel spreadsheets, handwritten notes, and even scientific papers written by students. This diversity of formats and the dispersion of data have made it difficult to locate and efficiently utilize the samples, resulting in wasted time and potentially errors in data interpretation. In light of this scenario, this work proposes the development of software to standardize and centralize the storage of soil samples in a single database. The main objective is to facilitate the organization, access, and manipulation of this information, optimizing the consultation process and contributing to the improvement of academic and research activities within the institution.
