This mobile app enables a farmer, him/her self or with an agro-officer’s help, choose the right pesticide for his/her particular crop. The app also shows information on which companies are selling pesticides that are available on the market, besides the government approved pesticides, and farmers can also know about a pesticide manufactured by one group being sold under which names by different companies. Using a pesticide product’s API number, farmers can check whether the product is approved or not.
