Crop scouting is a crucial step in pest and disease management. It allows farm managers to quantify the pressure from a pest or disease within a field. Advantages of field scouting with Aeroview Scout include: making immediate decisions based on pest/disease thresholds; tracking trends in pests and natural enemies within a season; making decisions based on the comparison of results between seasons; preparing the farmer for these threats in the future.
