Crop Scouting

Crop scouting involves systematically inspecting fields to monitor the health and development of crops. Farmers or agronomists look for signs of pests, diseases, weeds, and nutrient deficiencies, assessing the overall condition of the plants. This process helps determine if interventions like pest control, fertilization, or other management practices are needed. Regular scouting ensures issues are identified early, enabling targeted and effective action to maximize yield and crop quality while minimizing unnecessary treatments. It’s an essential part of integrated crop management, supporting sustainable and profitable farming practices.
