Yara CheckIT
India
Developed by Yara Digital Farming India Pvt. Ltd., Yara CheckIT is an agricultural mobile app that provides farmers with a photographic library of crops to enable simple and fast identification of possible nutrient deficiencies. The app allows users to search through photos of nutrient deficiencies, filter them by symptoms, the location of the symptom on the crop, or by the suspected cause of the symptom. It provides information on how deficiencies affect crops, soil types prone to deficiencies, and factors that exacerbate deficiencies. The app also offers fertilizer recommendations to treat identified deficiencies and suggests preventive treatments for future growing seasons.
