Disease Warning System

Better protect
your plants

Reliable and
accurate Disease Warning System

To compute the chance of infection the crop climate sensor captures data between the leaves. In this micro-climate the diseases arise that develop into crop damage and yield loss.

Better protect your plants using the disease risk tool

The Disease Warning System enables you to react to the current situation, revent crop damage and minimise the input of crop protection agents. This tool discribes the risk of infection for a particular crop with its major plant pathogens. The thresholds are computed by combining the in-crop measured data with the field specific weather forecast. This essential information is an included feature. 

With more than 50 crops and 100 disease, the FieldMate can be used in arable farming, vegetables, fruit and viticulture. The Disease Warning system provides a 7 day verview on past and expected chance of an infection. This unique tool really helps at keeping your crop healthy!

 

Our Disease Warning System makes sure that your crop is always protected when it is at its most vulnerable. In the app our experts consider all the relevant factors and break down the complex topic of crop protection in easy to comprehend colour codes. Green means that the crop is save as there is no disease risk, for instance, while red indicates a high disease risk and thus potential infections and damage. A click on the respective colour provides you with further details. In this example you see an explanation for the disease risk of potato’s.

Potato disease thresholds

Early blight

NO RISK

No need for action
Consult again in 4 to 5 days.

LOW RISK

No need for action
Check on a regular basis.

MEDIUM RISK

Action may be needed
But only after 7 consecutive days of high risk.

HIGH RISK

Action may be needed
But only after 6 consecutive days of extreme risk.

Phytophthora
Tuber infection

No need for action
Consult again in 4 to 5 days.

No need for action
Check on a regular basis.

Action may be needed
But only after 7 consecutive days of high risk.

Action may be needed
But only after 6 consecutive days of extreme risk.

Late blight

Unfavourable weather conditions for disease
Check the app again tomorrow.

Slightly favourable weather conditions for disease
Check the app again tomorrow or
apply a preventive fungicide in case spraying conditions are really bad in the next few days and the current protection is fading.

Slightly favourable weather conditions for disease
Consider to apply a preventive fungicide today if the current protection is fading.

Very favourable weather conditions for disease
It is highly recommended you apply a preventive fungicide today if the current protection is fading.

The Disease Warning System is a very nice tool to keep an eye on the crops. We certainly expect more expansions via SmartFarm, which makes it possible to do more smart farming in the future. MEASURE TO MANAGE.”
