MyIPM vs Crownwise

MyIPM fruits provides Integrated Pest Management (IPM) information for conventional and organic production of important small fruits, stone fruits and pome fruits. The target audience is commercial growers (conventional and organic), farm advisors, and specialists, but homeowners may also find useful information. The home screen lets the user choose the fruit and discipline (pest or disease) and lets the user update data from the external database. The user can go back to this screen at any time and add or delete a selection. On top of this screen is a search bar that lets the user search active ingredients and trade names. Results will list the crop the product is registered for, the rate per acre and the efficacy rating. Then the user chooses one of the crop and discipline choices. The user taps a crop which opens up the disease or pest page. On any disease page the user can choose a disease by clicking the picture or choosing Overview/Gallery/More to learn more about it. Disease-specific information includes an overview about the disease and its management and a short, 2 to 3 min audio from the regional expert on the bottom of the page. The GALLERY features 6 pictures of disease signs and symptoms and pictures illustrating management solutions. The user can zoom in each picture. In the MORE section, the user finds information about the disease and its causal organism (including disease cycle and symptoms and signs), chemical control information, fungicide resistance information, and non-chemical control information (including biological control options, cultural control options, and resistant varieties). The same features can be pulled up for any pest. Underneath the feature picture of every disease-specific page the user can choose to list active ingredients and trade names registered in the United States. When tapping active ingredients, the user can choose between materials registered for conventional and organic production. Active ingredients are color coded according to FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) code. The efficacy of the active ingredients to control the selected disease is listed as well as a risk assessment of that chemical as published by FRAC. Active ingredients, efficacy and risk assessments are sortable. When tapping an active ingredient, the registered trade names containing this active ingredient are displayed. Back on the disease page, tapping trade names for conventional or organic production displays many available trade names for the specific disease including active ingredients, efficacy rating, PHI (Preharvest Interval) values, REI (Reentry Interval) values, and toxicity risk ratings (low, medium, high in colors beige, yellow, red). Trade names, active ingredients, PHI values, REI values, efficacy and toxicity ratings are sortable. In order to quickly look up active ingredients and trade names for a specific disease, the user can tap the disease on the top and choose another disease on the drop-down menu. Back on the disease page, the user can choose to listen to more audio recordings by tapping the headset symbol in the top right. The audios are from southeastern specialists and deal with pest and disease management. A really useful feature is the select button on the top right. It lets the user move seamlessly from one disease to another on whatever page is displayed at the moment.

Crownwise is a field tool for qualified tree risk assessors. Record a Level 2 assessment on site, and leave with the report already written. WRITTEN ON SITE, NOT AT THE KITCHEN TABLE A Level 2 assessment is thirty minutes of looking and two hours of typing. Crownwise removes the second part. You record each tree, judge the parts and targets you can see, and the report assembles itself as you go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start an assessment with the client, site and scope. 2. Add each tree: species, DBH, height, location, site conditions, health and structure, and anything that limited the inspection. 3. For every part that could fail, record its size, fall distance and load, then the target it could strike, the target zone, how often that zone is occupied and what protects the target. Judge the three inputs: likelihood of failure, likelihood of impacting the target, consequences of failure. 4. The rating appears immediately, with the matrix on screen so you can see where it came from. 5. Record the recommended work, the residual risk after it and when to reassess. Generate the report and send it before you get back to the truck. THE REPORT • Your letterhead: name, credentials, certification number and expiry • Your signature, drawn once and printed on every report • A summary table of every tree with its overall rating • Per part: size, fall distance, load, target zone, occupancy and protection, the three inputs, the derived rating, and the matrix reproduced with your cell marked • Whether the data is final or preliminary, and any advanced assessment you recommend • Recommended work, timeframe, residual risk and reassessment interval • Assumptions and limiting conditions The failure, target and follow-up fields match the 2025 basic tree risk assessment form. A rating whose derivation is invisible is not defensible. Crownwise prints the working. WORKS WHERE YOU WORK Once Crownwise Pro is active, no signal is needed. Nothing in the assessment needs a connection — not the matrix, not the photographs, not the report. Under canopy, in a basement car park, on a rural verge: it behaves the same. Buying needs a connection once. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No analytics. Everything you record stays on your device, and the only thing that ever leaves is the report you choose to share. There is no server holding your assessments; the app only checks your purchase with the App Store, through RevenueCat. PHOTOGRAPHS ATTACHED TO FINDINGS The camera opens from inside the row you are recording, and the photograph is attached there and then. No matching a camera roll to findings afterwards. WHAT CROWNWISE IS NOT Crownwise does not perform tree risk assessment and does not give arboricultural advice. Every input is selected by you. The app applies published matrices to those inputs and assembles the result. The professional opinion in any report is yours, and you are responsible for it. It is a tool in the same sense that a calculator is a tool. Crownwise is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or certified by any professional body, standards organisation or certifying authority. CROWNWISE PRO Starting an assessment and generating a report require Crownwise Pro: a monthly subscription, or a single Lifetime purchase. Assessments already on your device stay readable without it. The monthly subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. Lifetime is a single payment and does not renew. SUPPORT anilsancarr@gmail.com — every message gets a reply.
