DISEASE MONITORING Track key diseases including early blight, late blight, white mold, gray mold, blackleg, aerial stem rot, verticillium wilt, and Rhizoctonia stem canker.

AGRONOMY & CROP DEVELOPMENT Record stand establishment, canopy development, and tuber growth in one structured assessment. Canopy and tuber growth stages follow the internationally recognized 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 vigor, 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.
