Crop protection assurance and compliance with Earthstream mobile app guidance

Overview

This solution addresses a critical gap in crop protection by replacing reactive, uncertainty-driven overspraying with a real-time geospatial decision-support system. Integrated into the existing Earthstream mobile app, the platform combines chemical usage, compatibility, and compliance data into actionable guidance and recommendations for growers. The goal is to address pest and pathogen risks proactively, prevent resistance development, minimize unnecessary chemical applications, and improve or maintain crop production with added product assurance.

Growers and their channel partners often rely on fragmented information sources for decisions about chemistry mixes, application rates, efficacy, and timing. By consolidating verified recommendations into a single mobile interface, the platform reduces uncertainty and helps growers make faster, more confident crop protection decisions even under time and supply pressures.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Real-time geospatial system of information integrating chemical usage, compatibility, and compliance data
• Guidance and recommendations delivered through the existing Earthstream mobile app
• Automated machine learning and AI-generated models for environmental risk analysis, including pest and pathogen forecasting
• Forecasting capabilities designed to support proactive rather than reactive risk management
• Model development and enhancement through collaborations with universities, grower-funded research organizations such as Cotton Inc., and enterprise agricultural partners
• In-field verification processes used to test and validate models and recommendations
• Evaluation of user engagement, data quality feedback, crop health status, and final production yield to measure recommendation effectiveness
• Core modeling capabilities used to identify alternative factors and limitations in current recommendations

Technology readiness level

The system builds on mesur.io's existing Earthstream mobile app and its established AI and supply chain risk management capabilities. Validation is ongoing through collaborations with research partners and enterprise customers, with in-field verifications used to test and refine forecasting models. Product data for specific crops and risks currently depends on collaborator involvement and interest areas. Future validation will expand the guidance to the existing customer base and additional users from network partners, with effectiveness measured through crop health outcomes and yield differences.
