Digital Crop came into being because of the fact that farmers are losing billions of dollars every year to crop diseases that could be prevented through early detection. We created a smart mobile application that places diagnostic knowledge into the hands of those who need it the most, and that will revolutionize how agricultural communities can secure their livelihoods under the umbrella of accessible AI technology.
Core Capabilities Delivered:
Advanced image recognition identifying 200+ crop diseases with 92% accuracySymptom-based diagnostic tool for field conditions where photography isn't practicalCustomized treatment recommendations with localized product availabilityOffline functionality ensuring access in low-connectivity rural areasMeasurable Outcomes:
Launched complete iOS and Android applications within 8 monthsAchieved 89% diagnostic accuracy validation through agricultural expert partnershipsSupported 15,000+ active farmers across 8 regions in the first launch seasonReduced average disease response time from 5 days to under 2 minutesDocumented 34% improvement in crop yield protection among regular usersPartnered with agricultural universities to train AI models on region-specific disease patternsDesigned intuitive camera guides that help farmers capture optimal diagnostic imagesBuilt a comprehensive symptom checklist flow as an alternative input methodIntegrated localized treatment options that account for product availability and regional farming practices
Farmers just take photographs of affected leaves, stems, or fruits. Our AI recognizes visual signs, discoloration, spot features, and growth anomalies and compares them to thousands of disease profiles to present perfect identification in less than 10 seconds.
In instances where visual capture is not possible, farmers respond to directed questions on what they see. The app employs the decision-tree logic to filter the possibilities and present likely diseases to make sure that, despite the harsh conditions in the field, diagnosis remains available.
All discovered diseases will provoke specific action regimes, such as organic and chemical treatment, time and method of application, prevention, and recovery prospects, all based on local growing conditions and resources.
A growing database of crop health articles, prevention strategies, and seasonal advisory content assists farmers in developing long-term skills in disease management, beyond solving short-term problems.
Core diagnostic functions do not need internet connectivity, but they update the data when a connection is restored. This makes sure that the rural farmers do not lose the information that they need most.
Our process of development combined technical accuracy with extensive agricultural knowledge, and it guaranteed that the end product was actually useful to agricultural communities and not merely a demonstration of outstanding technology.
Carried out field visits and farmer interviews at various growing regions to know the actual challenges, the current practices, and the technological barriers in the field. All decisions of the products were informed by this foundation.
Worked with the plant pathology experts to develop training data on local crop types and disease manifestations. The repetitive testing allowed precision under different environmental settings and developmental stages of crops.
Developed graphical interfaces that are outdoor-friendly, text-light, and user-friendly with navigation that can be used even by people with a low level of smartphone usage. The prototype testing was performed directly with the communities involved in farming.
It was constructed and is being tested in two-week sprints with constant feedback loops with the farmers, so any release dealt with actual needs and was also usable to our target audience.
Released beta versions in active growing periods, gathered actual diagnostic cases, and tuned AI accuracy on actual field performance, not only using laboratory conditions.
Introduced by local relations, agronomist recommendations, and educational materials, allowing farming communities to apply the technology and trust it as an official diagnostic method.
