Weather data doesn't just tell you the forecast. It tells you whether blight, rust, or pest pressure is building in your field — 24 to 48 hours before visible damage. Act early. Save the crop.
Disease doesn't appear from nowhere. It needs specific temperature and humidity conditions to take hold. We monitor those conditions — continuously.
A solar-powered weather station at your farm edge measures temperature, relative humidity, leaf wetness (derived), wind speed and direction — every 15 minutes, around the clock.
Our platform runs crop-specific epidemiological models (e.g. Blitecast for late blight, BOTCAST for botrytis) against your live readings. When conditions match a disease infection period — risk climbs.
When cumulative infection units cross the intervention threshold for your crop and growth stage — an alert is fired. Not when disease appears. Before it can spread.
Message delivered to any phone — includes disease name, risk level, recommended intervention window, and suggested product type. No app required.
We've pre-configured the conditions that matter for the most damaging diseases and pest pressures across Kenya's main farming regions.
The most destructive disease in Central Kenya highlands. Can wipe out an entire potato crop in 7–10 days under the right conditions.
Common in high-altitude maize belts (Meru, Nyeri, Trans Nzoia). Humidity and dew periods during grain-fill are the primary risk window.
Warm, dry conditions with low wind speed drive aphid population explosions. Early pressure often precedes virus transmission — acting fast matters.
By the time visible disease symptoms appear, the pathogen has already spread systemically. Curative treatment requires higher doses, more applications, and often fails to prevent yield loss. Early alerts change the economics.
Our alert fires at infection period onset — not when lesions appear. That 24–48 hour window is when a single preventive fungicide application stops the spread.
Calendar-based spraying wastes product on low-risk days. Data-driven schedules mean you spray only when infection pressure warrants it — fewer applications, same protection.
Blight during potato tuber bulking or maize grain-fill is catastrophic. Our crop-stage-aware models raise alert sensitivity exactly when disease damage costs most.
Late blight is the single greatest threat to potato farmers in Central Kenya highlands. Our sensor-based alerts are pre-configured with Blitecast thresholds calibrated for highland microclimate conditions.
Blight alert pre-configuredHigh-yielding hybrid maize is more susceptible to foliar disease than traditional varieties. Leaf wetness and night-time humidity data give early warning before yield-critical grain-fill stages.
Rust & grey leaf spotGreenhouse and open-field vegetable growers face rapid pest build-up. Temperature and humidity thresholds flag risk windows for aphid pressure, powdery mildew and whitefly outbreaks.
Multi-threat monitoringA weather station on your farm edge is all it takes. We configure the disease models for your specific crops and location — you receive alerts on your phone the moment risk appears.
