Weeds in your own garden are annoying: sometimes they rob the vegetable plants of light, sometimes they choke the beautiful flowers. In arable farming, it can lead to expensive harvest losses. But in order to combat the unpleasant plants effectively, you have to recognize them first. In this article you will learn about apps with which you can identify weeds and which are also suitable for agricultural use.

Agricultural determiners: diagnosis and tips

The chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer also produces crop protection products. There is also a free app from Bayer CropScience: With the Agricultural Determiner, you can use your smartphone to identify weeds and grasses as well as diseases and pests that occur in arable farming. In the settings you will find an offline mode with which you can work without an internet connection. The app has a lexicon with a search function and a diagnostic function that guides you to the result via a questionnaire. In addition, the application provides information on how to combat the problems - but this is advertising for Bayer products.
