AI crop scouting app

If your main goal is walking fields, photographing suspicious plants, and getting an AI pest/disease identification, I’d put Agrio and Plantix at the top of the shortlist.

1. Agrio — my pick for actual field scouting

Agrio combines photo-based AI diagnosis with geotagged observations, voice notes, field/plot management, scouting reports, pest monitoring and alerts. Its newer scouting workflow can analyze photos and observations against historical situations from your fields and generate a draft observation/recommendation.agrio.app

That makes it particularly interesting if you're not just asking “What's wrong with this leaf?” but want to build a repeatable scouting program across your fields.

It also has iPhone/iPad support.apps.apple.com

2. Plantix — excellent for quick diagnosis

Plantix is more diagnosis-oriented: photograph a symptomatic plant and it returns a diagnosis and treatment information. Its current materials report 150M+ field images, 57 crops and 800+ diagnosis combinations, while the consumer app advertises identification of pests, diseases and nutritional problems.plantix.net

One important caveat: Plantix's own published testing reports about 73–74% accuracy on real-world field images, versus ~95% on its curated test set. That's useful context when interpreting an AI diagnosis—it shouldn't replace an agronomist or lab confirmation for consequential decisions.plantix.net

3. Cropwise Protector — worth considering for a larger operation

Cropwise is less about a consumer-style “take a picture and identify it” experience and more about structured professional scouting: georeferenced observations, photos/voice notes, offline scouting, pest/disease ratings, severity maps, thresholds and historical field records.www.cropwise.com

Bottom line: For your stated use—scouting fields for pests and diseases with AI assistance—I'd trial Agrio first, and keep Plantix installed as a second-opinion identification tool.

If you tell me what crops you grow, approximate acreage, and whether you're on iPhone or Android, I can narrow this down further and compare the best 3–5 options for your particular operation, including price and offline capability.
