Pest & Disease Alert & Treatment Dispatch System
A done-for-you farm automation built for the Crop Scout, connecting Twilio, Jotform, and Airtable so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
When a crop scout submits a scouting report identifying pest pressure or disease above economic threshold (whether aphids, corn rootworm, white mold, or any flagged issue) this automation immediately notifies the farm manager and the designated agronomist, calculates the field acreage requiring treatment, generates a pre-filled pesticide application record, and schedules the application crew.
The entire chain from "I found a problem" to "the sprayer is scheduled" happens automatically, rather than through a series of calls and texts that eat hours out of a narrow spray window when every hour of delay matters.
- Jotform (scouting report form)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Airtable (pest pressure log by field)
- Twilio (farm manager and agronomist alert)
- Google Sheets (pesticide application record)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
The manual version of this puts the entire workload on a crop scout, who has to juggle phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets just to keep things moving. Over a month, those small manual steps add up to a significant amount of lost time.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
