Field scouting and observations
Log pest and disease observations with photos directly in the app. Every note is GPS-tagged to the exact field, row or bed, with weather, incidence and severity captured alongside.
Integrated Pest Management
Spot problems early. Act before they spread.
Integrated Pest Management is a holistic approach to pest control that combines monitoring, prevention and targeted intervention to reduce pesticide use. It helps you make the most economical, efficient and sustainable decisions to keep crop damage to a minimum.
The basics
What is Integrated Pest Management?
IPM combines multiple methods to reduce pest pressure and the use of pesticides. In practice it runs as four connected stages, each one feeding the next so decisions get better every season.
How Farmable helps
Every observation connected to every treatment.
Field map, IPM notes and spray records together
Map your fields once and reuse them for everything. Observations, recommended jobs and completed spray records all sit on the same block, with weather and product data attached.
Audit-ready reports, exportable anywhere
Spray reports, fertiliser reports and product inventory are ready in the app or as PDF, XLS or API export. FreshCare and GlobalG.A.P. compliant out of the box.
Watch
See IPM running on Farmable.
GlobalG.A.P., organic certification, and an increasing number of national regulations require documented IPM programs. Farmable gives you the records to prove compliance at any audit.
Notes and observations
The observation layer your IPM program runs on.
IPM only works when scouting data is captured, structured and easy to find. Farmable Notes turn what your team sees in the field into a searchable, shareable record.
Field notes with photo and GPS
Capture what you see while you're standing in the block, pest, disease, growth stage, damage level, with photos attached and the exact location pinned automatically.
Ready-made scouting summary
Open any block to see pressure trends across the season. Graph and list views, monitoring counts, photo evidence and recommended jobs, all auto-assembled from your team's field notes.
Auto-generated PDF reports
Finalise a scouting round and Farmable builds the PDF for you, photos, monitoring data, recommended jobs and scout summary, ready to send to farm managers and auditors in one tap.
Tested by Growers

"This has been a game-changer for me. I can quickly jot down observations while I'm in the field, whether it's a pest issue, crop condition, or just something to remember later. No more scrambling through old notebooks."

For Extension and Agronomy Teams
IPM at network scale, for the teams supporting growers.
Farmable can be rolled out as an IPM scouting tool across your entire network of growers. Every observation they capture is aggregated in Farmable Enterprise - the platform built for agronomy service providers and IPM extension offices that need a region-wide view of pest pressure.
IPM scouting for your grower network
Equip every grower you advise with Farmable. They get a proper field-notes tool with photo, GPS and pest tagging - you get a network that actually records what it sees.
All monitoring notes aggregated in one place
Every scout note, pest count and photo from across your network flows into Farmable Enterprise. Filter by region, crop or pest to see pressure building before it becomes a call-out.
Built for extension offices and agronomy services
Region-wide dashboards, exportable reports and shared pest libraries. Use it to issue alerts, prioritise farm visits and back up regulatory submissions with real field data.
Equip your grower network with Farmable.
Tell us about your region and the number of growers you support - we'll come back with the right Enterprise bundle within one business day.
Pest and disease library
Know what you're dealing with before you spray.
The Farmable Agronomy Hub covers hundreds of crop pests and diseases, EPPO codes, BBCH growth stages, treatment windows, and approved products for your country.
Farmable lets us track every observation and every spray in one place. When the auditor comes, the IPM story is already written.
IPM isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It's about understanding your crops, your pests, and finding what works best for your farm.

Does Farmable support GlobalG.A.P. IPM requirements?
Yes. Farmable's observation and treatment records provide the documented evidence required for GlobalG.A.P. IPM compliance. Reports export in one click.
Can I log pest scouting notes without a spray treatment?
Yes. Observations are separate from treatments. You can log a scouting note with photo, GPS location and pest identification without triggering a spray record.
How does the AI crop health feature work?
Take a photo of the affected plant in the Farmable app and share it with the AI agent. It identifies the issue and suggests appropriate responses based on your crop, location and registered products.
Does Farmable connect to the Agronomy Hub?
Yes. Pest pages on the Agronomy Hub link directly to the relevant Farmable product lists for your country, and the app surfaces Agronomy Hub content contextually.
Stop guessing. Start recording.
Log every observation. Connect every treatment. Have the IPM records you need before the auditor asks.
