Abstract :Manure management planning is especially important to ensure the sustainable use of soil and water resources. The main purpose of planning is to apply the nutrients available in the manure produced in the operation and in the soil to the land at the appropriate time, taking into account the needs of the plant. For this purpose, a mobile application has been developed to run on Android-based mobile phones or tablets. In a case study where plant and animal production is carried out, management planning was made for corn and tomato plants in a dairy cattle enterprise with a capacity of 60 heads. As a result of the calculations, it was seen that the financial value of the manure produced by the animals in the operation was approximately $14000. It shows that if the manure produced is used to provide the most optimum benefit, the amount that needs to be spent on additional plant nutrients will be $7800 for corn and $27332 for tomato. As a result, it has been determined that the developed mobile application can be used in manure management planning for sustainable agricultural production.
