Plantwise Data Collection

The Plantwise Data Collection Chrome extension is designed exclusively for registered Plantwise Plant Doctors and partner accounts. It facilitates the recording of crop health issues and recommended solutions during plant clinics and farmer visits. Using integrated pest management principles, it guides Plant Doctors through interview questions to accurately diagnose plant health problems and suggest suitable actions.

Key features include the ability to send tailored recommendations to farmers via SMS, create detailed reports on clinic sessions, track trends in crop health, and update supervisors efficiently. The app supports both online and offline data entry, allowing Plant Doctors to work seamlessly regardless of internet connectivity. It complements the Plantwise Factsheets Library app and ties into the global PlantwisePlus program aimed at enhancing food security and rural livelihoods by minimizing crop losses. This tool is an essential resource for agricultural health professionals to improve decision-making and farmer outreach, blending technology with practical plant health management.
