Browse 25+ diseases organized by category: Foliar Diseases, Tuber & Soilborne Diseases, Physiological Disorders, and diseases not found in the USA. Each entry includes: Symptoms, disease cycle, and management recommendations High-quality reference photos Pathogen classification (fungus, bacterium, water mold) Affected plant parts and spread patterns Search by disease name or pathogen to find answers fast when it counts most. STRUCTURED SCOUTING SESSIONS Conduct complete field assessments that capture every aspect of crop health in one place. DISEASE MONITORING Track key diseases including early blight, late blight, white mold, gray mold, blackleg, aerial stem rot, verticillium wilt, and Rhizoctonia stem canker. The advanced stem canker tool lets you sample up to 5 plants, calculating accurate disease pressure across your sample. INSECT SCOUTING Monitor Colorado potato beetles, aphids, leafhoppers, flea beetles, wireworms, grubs, and more. Rate pressure levels quickly across fields. AGRONOMY & CROP DEVELOPMENT Record stand establishment, canopy development, and tuber growth in one structured assessment. Canopy and tuber growth stages follow the internationally recognised BBCH scale, with optional BBCH codes for precise staging. Add multiple tuber dig assessments per field, each with its own BBCH code, GPS location, and photos, so you can capture how development varies across a field. Track emergence, plant spacing, skips per row, canopy closure, vine vigour, stress symptoms, soil moisture, irrigation status, and soil temperature. WEED OBSERVATIONS Record weed species, growth stage, density, and distribution patch by patch, with overall pressure ratings across the field. FIELD ISSUES Log drainage problems, mechanical damage, nutrient deficiencies, and other concerns alongside biological observations. FIELD MAPS Attach up to six maps to every scouting session: field overview, aerial imagery, topographic, vegetation index, soil and EC, and scouting route. Take a photo of a printed map or import from your library. BUILT FOR THE FIELD SpudScout works fully offline. No signal is needed to record observations, capture photos, or generate reports, so patchy coverage is never a problem. Chip-based entry keeps data capture fast when you're walking rows.
