Maximum number of transplant containers
Following numerous requests, we have added a column showing the maximum number of containers needed for the year. This number is calculated on a weekly basis to allow for a safety margin. However, we advise you to check these numbers and adapt them to your own practice.

Training center features
If you are a training center, it is now possible to create student farms for your students using data from one of your farms!
For more informations, have a look at our the docs.

Bulk edit of planting dates and durations
In response to numerous requests, we’ve added the ability to bulk-edit planting dates and durations. To limit manipulation errors, only one parameter can be modified at a time. You can thus shift several plantings by a given number of days or weeks, edit a date or edit a duration. Dates or durations are automatically adjusted as needed.
-
Automatic field map adjustment
If you reduce the length of a planting that has already been assigned to a location, the field map is now automatically updated to match the new length. The planting will be unassigned from the locations, starting from the end of the field map.

You can choose a country for your farm in the farm settings. Prices and revenues will then be displayed in the currency of the selected country.

Smartphone interface improvement
We’ve improved the smartphone interface by adapting the action bars of the crop plan and field map. These action bars used to hide a lot of information; you can now swipe them down.
Moreover, Brinjel is now a Progressive Web App (PWA), so you can add it to the home screen of your smartphone, tablet or even your desktop computer!
We’re planning further improvements for this year, to make Brinjel a fully usable smartphone app.
-
Improved calendar
We’ve improved the datepicker calendar: now you can see the week numbers. It’s now easier and faster to type dates in. If you work with week numbers, you now type week numbers in date inputs.
-
Field map reordering
Your field map has change since its creation in Brinjel? Good news: now you can reorder it. By selecting a location while editing the field map, you can now move it before, within or after another plot. The crop rotation history is of course preserved!
-
Collapse locations
Your field map takes a lot of place and you can’t find your way around? Good news: it’s now possible to collapse the locations!
-
Quick add from forms
It is now possible to search for a value in drop-down boxes and also add new ones! It thus becomes possible to quickly add crops, varieties, types of tasks… directly from the forms.
-
Print out the crop plan
Do you like to print out as much information as possible to take with you to the field? We’ve got you covered: you can now print different versions of the crop plan!
-
Charts and reports improvements
The Charts tab has been improved. You’ll find the year’s crop distribution, as well as summary tables of maximum and total bed lengths per tag, and the number of containers needed for the year. This information will let you to better plan your consumable requirements (insect nets, potting soil, etc.).
-
Settings interface revamp
The settings interface has been largely redesigned for easier navigation. And if you’ve decided that Brinjel isn’t for you, you can now delete you farm yourself.
-
Better planting filtering in field plan
In the field plan, you can now filter non-assigned plantings according to their type (direct seeded or transplanted) and their tags. By selecting several tags, only the plantings that match every tags will be displayed.
-
Thousand seed weight
Your favorite seed provider gives seed weight in TSW (Thousand Seed Weight) instead of seeds per gram? No worries, we’ve added a dedicated field to the planting form.
You can fill one of the fields, the other will be converted automatically.
-
Orders based on assigned plantings only
If you don’t assign all your plantings to locations, we’ve got some good news for you!
Seeds and transplants orders can now be computed from assigned planting lengths only. To do this, simply click on Assigned only.
-
Filter buttons for locations
In the field map, we’ve removed the Filter button, which would open a menu.
There are now three buttons in the top bar for displaying/hiding field or greenhouse locations. The third button, if activated, shows only the locations available for the selected planting to be assigned.
-
Toolbar in field map
In the field map, we’ve added a toolbar for assigned plantings. Previously, when hovering over an assigned planting, a button would appear, allowing the planting to be removed from the location. This button caused unwanted removal on small screens.
Now you can simply click on an assigned planting. A toolbar will appear, allowing you to move or remove the planting from the location. You can also open the planting form in another tab.
We’ve also improved the performance of the field map tab. This should result in a faster display, especially if you have a slower connection or an older machine.
