AI agent for farmers
Pest Scouting and Spray Decision Agent
Spray only when needed, with the right product, legally and at the right time
What it does
Good pest control starts with scouting and thresholds, not a calendar spray that costs money and builds resistance. After each scouting round, this agent reads scouting notes, trap counts, weather and disease risk models, and compares counts with economic thresholds for the crop stage. Below threshold means no spray. When a threshold is passed, it drafts a treatment option with product, rate, label limits, pre-harvest interval and a spray window with suitable wind and rain. It checks the option against the product label, buffer zones and resistance rules, so the same mode of action is not used twice in a row. If it fails, it picks another product or timing. The farmer approves every application. It then schedules a follow-up scout. Edge case: a field next to a bee yard or water body gets buffer rules applied.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
