FieldMate
Local measurements on your fields
Disease risk
Better protect your potatoes using the disease warning system
In the Netherlands, water molds are the greatest risk for potatoes. Fungi such as phytophtora and alternaria can negatively affect the crop yield.
The FieldMate shows the disease pressure for potato diseases and fungi based on local data.
Reliable and accurate
The Disease risk warning system enables you to react accurately to the current situation, prevent 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 diseases, the FieldMate can be used in arable farming, vegetables, fruit and viticulture. The Disease risk warning system provides a 7 days overview on past and expected chance of an infection. This unique tool really helps at keeping your crop healthy!
Using the disease warning system
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
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.
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.
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.
Spray planner
Protection at the right time
With the Spray Planner you get a precision farming tool to optimise your crop protection. Through combining ultra-local data and knowledge of crop protection products and their effects, the Spray Planner allows you to choose the best application moment. When using this tool you have the possibility to use your crop protection resources optimally, this saves money and fits into an environmentally conscious crop protection strategy.
The optimal spraying moment
Applying plant protection products at the optimal moment is of major importance when growing quality crops with respect for the environment. When spraying at the optimal moment costs can be reduced 25 – 30%. The Spray planner tool calculates the result of application of a given crop protection product based on its active ingredients, product formulation, the past, current and future weather condition at location and stage of the crop.
Spraying forecast
The Spray planner visualises an hourly spraying forecast for the efficiency of the specified product for the next 48 hours. Plan your crop protection activities around periods with the highest efficiency rate. The output from the Spray planner is based on 21 agrochemical weather-related and 5 meteorological-related processes. Each process is a result of modelling of a certain process happening in or on the leaf after application.
Plant protection products
All steps of sticking, diffusion and uptake of droplets on the leaf or soil are calculated. All processes use meteorological data gathered and calculated by IQBlue Clara.
The Spray planner contains a data base with more than 1220 plant protection products. Only registered products are shown per crop and are selected per country, independent from brand or supplier.
Challenges
Dealing with stress factors during the growing season
High temperatures are increasingly measured in summer.
With temperatures above 30 degrees, the soil temperature can become high enough to cause heat stress. On top of this more irrigation wil bring new risks to potato cultivation.

Practical
experiences in
potato cultivation
Henk van Ospel (51) grows potatoes and cabbage. He has had a FieldMate for 2 years and notices a clear difference in the amount of spraying, but also that there are few or no infections.
“Because measurements are taken at such a local level, there are clear differences in disease pressure between my fields”.
