How to Use the AI Crop Doctor
The AI Crop Doctor diagnoses crop diseases from a photo — free for all PrajaAgro farmers. Here is how to get the best results.
Step 1: Take a Clear Photo
- Lighting: Shoot in natural daylight, avoid shadows
- Distance: Fill the frame with the affected leaf/fruit
- Focus: Tap to focus on the lesion/discoloration
- Background: A plain background helps the AI
Step 2: Add the Crop Name
Telling the AI the crop (e.g. "Rice") improves accuracy by 30%. If unsure, leave it blank — the AI can still identify the plant.
Step 3: Read the Diagnosis
Each report includes:
- Disease name + pathogen
- Severity % — how advanced the infection is
- Confidence — high/medium/low
- Organic + chemical remedies with dosage
- Immediate actions to prevent spread
- Prevention tips for next season
Step 4: Buy the Right Product
The recommended products link directly to the catalog. Use the "Alert" button to get notified when the price drops.
Tips for Common Diseases
| Crop | Disease | Best Photo Angle | |------|---------|------------------| | Rice | Sheath blight | Lower leaf sheath | | Wheat | Rust | Upper leaf, both sides | | Tomato | Early blight | Lower leaves with spots | | Cotton | Bollworm | Damaged boll close-up |
