Developed by BumperCrop Ltd., Scouting Solution improves crop health and comrises of a mobile app, scannable row tags and scout heat maps which display pests, diseases and their severity level in a way that lets farmers easily spot patterns and take action. Heatmap shows issue progression and remediation that has been applied. The mobile app also allows farmers to schedule email reports or share with consultants for improved decision making.

It enables farmers to better communication with management and other pest control technicians for speedy decision making.
