eDamuhan (Weed Recognition)
Philippines
This digital solution provides Filipino farmers with a catalogue of weed species, weed management options and a list of herbicides. The mobile app uses a systematic three-step weed photo recognition process, in which: (1) users take a photo of an unknown weed plant, (2) the app then analyses the photo and relates the top three matches and (3) the user confirms which of the top three matches best resembles the unknown weed.
