CropCare AI reads a phone photo of a leaf, names the likely disease, and gives you a treatment and prevention plan.
A maize leaf with rust-coloured spots, marked up by CropCare with the name of the disease
One photo gives you three answers.
Every scan comes back with the same three things, written so you can act on them in the field.
The name
The most likely disease or pest, with its common name, so you can talk to an agrovet or extension officer about it.
What to do now
Treatment options, both organic and chemical, with the steps to apply them.
How to stop it coming back
Prevention for the rest of this season and the next one: spacing, rotation, clean tools and resistant varieties.
How it works
Step 1: Take a photo
Hold your phone a hand's length from a leaf that shows the problem. Daylight works best.
Step 2: CropCare reads it
The photo is sent for analysis and checked against the diseases CropCare knows. You need a data connection for this step.
Step 3: Get your action plan
You get the likely disease, what to treat it with, and how to keep it from spreading.
Action plan
- Common rust (Puccinia sorghi)
- Remove badly affected leaves
- Apply a recommended fungicide
- Plant resistant varieties next season

Guessing is expensive.
The wrong spray
Money spent on a chemical that doesn't treat what your crop actually has, and the disease keeps going.
A disease that spreads
One sick plant becomes a sick row. The earlier you know what it is, the less of the field it reaches.
A lost season
By the time the damage is obvious it's often too late to save the harvest. A photo takes a minute.
Where CropCare contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
Catching disease early means less of the harvest is lost.

Spray for what is actually on the leaf, not for what it might be.
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
Less unnecessary pesticide on farms and in food.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
