This mobile app enables farmers, either on their own or with the help of an agricultural officer, to select the right pesticide for their specific crop. The app provides information on companies selling available pesticides, including government-approved options. It also allows farmers to identify which pesticides manufactured by one company are sold under different names by other companies. Farmers can verify whether the product is officially approved using a pesticide product’s API number.
