Cropwise Grower
Philippines
The Cropwise Grower application by Syngenta AG is positioned to be farmers' new best friend in the current agriculture environment. The app's Snap, Detect and Diagnose feature lets users take picture of the affected crop and provide real-time identification and solution within the Cropwise Grower app. The app can be used in both online an offline modes. The app guide growers on how to best manage their crops by providing stage-by-stage crop management information on growth, which pests, or disease to look out for at which stage, recommended Syngenta products, best agronomy practice as well as tutorials on how to best use the products. Growers can also see what other growers are saying about the Syngenta recommended solutions as well as tutorials on better crop management. It is the only farming app that will offer services for rice and in future including corn and durian. Using this app, growers connect directly with Syngenta partners, allowing them to find solutions to all their pain points. The app also leverages technology from image recognition specialist Plantix to diagnose crop diseases in three seconds and provide farmers with agronomic advice on the most appropriate type of seed or crop protection that they can apply.
