Localised warnings for growers and agronomists now in one easy-to-use digital platform.
SYNGENTA‘s support tools BlightCast and Quantis Heat Stress Alert have now been coupled into one convenient and easy to use digital platform, myField.
Incorporating the advice into the one myField app means growers and agronomists can receive localised warnings of potato agronomy issues on a field-by-field basis across a wide geographical area, along with other personalised weather and agronomy data.
The single app replaces the previous web-based versions of BlightCast and the Quantis Heat Stress Alert.
BlightCast gives growers and agronomists more than two weeks advance warning of conditions conducive to disease infection and development, to fine tune blight protection strategies, while Quantis Heat Stress Alert notifies when temperature events are forecast to trigger set parameters when potato crops suffer.
MyField users can map individual fields in the app to give pinpoint accuracy of all information services. When any individual field is selected in Potato Tools, MyField will instantly show its current status for BlightCast and Quantis Heat Stress, along with the option to view up to a 15-day forecast.
It retains the simple visual colour coding for low (green), medium (amber) and high (red) risk, along with the option for email notification when set thresholds are reached.
