Field data for precision agriculture

Collect observations, pests, nutrient deficiencies, and treatment records. Use standardized forms to maintain quality.

Typical workflows

  • Crop scouting and disease monitoring
  • Soil sampling and fertility mapping
  • Treatment records and compliance

Integrated with QGIS and QFieldCloud

Build data models in QGIS and collaborate with QFieldCloud for timely decisions.

Why this matters

  • Unreliable connectivity across fields
  • Inconsistent scouting notes and codes
  • Slow consolidation into agronomy platforms

Trusted results

  • Trusted by agronomists and producers
  • High-accuracy GNSS support for row-level work

FAQ

Do you support variable-rate zones?
Yes. Manage zones and attributes in QGIS and use them in QField for collection.
Can I capture photos and samples?
