Field notes
The described workflow asks farmers to choose one of five crops and photograph a single sick leaf in daylight; the app is said to identify the leaf and return a likely diagnosis. Its listed support spans 21 diseases, with treatment guidance, prevention advice, and local agrovet information. The page also says saved checks, weather, and advice work offline, and cautions users to consult an agrovet or agriculture office before spraying.
