🌱 Identify and manage crop problems

PlantwisePlus factsheets are written by partners in PlantwisePlus countries specifically for farmer needs. They give a quick outline of how to recognize a crop problem, background information, and step-by-step instructions on how to manage the issue. Factsheets may go into detail about one particular management technique or may list several management options. Localised weather information is also shown, to help support decisions around when to apply recommended practices.

Factsheets are validated by technical reviewers to check that the recommendations are safe and follow approved scientific principles.

📷 Diagnose crop problems

The Plant Diagnosis Tool, powered by Plantix, allows you to submit a photo of your affected crop, and get guidance on what is affecting it, and how to manage this problem.

💧 Calculate pesticide application quantities

The Crop Sprayer tool helps to make the calculations required to ensure crop protection products are applied as you intended. The app calculates the amount of product concentrate to use, the total amount of product required and the number of tanks required to spray an area.

☀️ Check local weather

Access localised weather information to help decide when to carry out recommended crop management practices.
