Agronomy App & Tools

The PGRO Agronomy APP provides up to date technical backup as well as the Descriptive List variety guides and a new interactive pest and disease reporting tool via your smartphone or tablet.

  • By using the APP you will be able to access Descriptive List variety
    information for combining peas and field beans and the Descriptive List data
    for vining peas – all adapted for viewing on a small screen.
  • A Pests, Diseases and Deficiencies section shows images of common issues arising in the field together with a written description to aid identification, notes on potential impact, and control strategies.
  • A useful growth stage guide is included together with commonly requested tools for seed rates and weight loss in drying calculation
  • Brief notes and guidance to sources of information for other pulses and legumes are also provided – and will be expanded in the future.
  • The most innovative feature is the ability to generate your own crop reports. Accessed via the Pests, Diseases and Deficiencies section, the user can take images and write a short report, sending them from the APP by email to others. The report will automatically be sent to the PGRO Plant Clinic where a request for advice can be lodged. Anonymised, the incidence/report will appear marked on a map of the UK on the PGRO web site enabling others to be aware of crop developments around the country.
  • Another significant advantage is that the APP can be updated at any time enabling real-time notifications of updates and changes. This is particularly valuable for services such as the Pea Moth Alert.
  • All of the information is available on this web site in the form of Technical Updates and other publications - including downloadable print ready Descriptive List of varieties if required.
