Young maize plant with torn leaves, dry at the tips, after a hailstormWe had hail yesterday and the maize looks like this. Will I lose it?7:42
From the photo, the damage is to the leaves. At this age the growing point is still below ground, so it almost always regrows. How many weeks old is it?7:42
About 3 weeks. Do I need to replant?7:44
Not yet. Wait 4 or 5 days and check:
  • If new green leaves come out of the centre, the plant is alive.
  • Split a plant lengthwise: if the centre is white or pale yellow and firm, it's healthy. If it's brown and soft, it's lost.
Only then, if many plants are missing, we'll see whether replanting is worth it. Want me to explain how to count them? Based on studies of hail damage in maize7:44

Example conversation

Ask the way you would ask an extension officer.

If it isn't sure, it asks you one or two questions before answering.

Crops

  • My cocoa pods have black spots
  • When should I plant beans this year?
  • There are caterpillars in the whorl of my maize

Animals

  • My cows have ticks, what do I do?
  • A calf has had diarrhea since yesterday
  • The hens stopped laying

Soil, water and weather

  • How much should I water my tomatoes?
  • My soil is very acidic, what do I correct it with?
  • Will the summer be dry for the pasture?

How a question works.

  1. Describe the problem

    In writing, with a photo or a voice message. Whatever is easiest.

  2. It asks what's missing

    Since when, how much of the field or herd is affected, where the farm is.

  3. It looks at your field

    Recent rainfall, soil, altitude and satellite images, only when needed.

  4. It tells you what to do

    Two or three concrete steps. If you don't have the input, it finds an alternative with what you have.

With your field's location, it sees more.

Share your location while standing in the field, or name the village or district. It uses this data only when it helps with your question.

Rain and temperature
How much it rained, dry spells, heat or humidity that favour disease, and the week's forecast.
Coming months
Whether the season is expected to be drier or wetter than normal, to plan planting and water or fodder reserves.
Soil
Estimated acidity, organic matter and texture for your area.
Altitude
It matters for choosing varieties, timing and disease risk.
Crop vigour
How green the field has been over recent months, seen from satellite.

These are estimates from maps and models. For precise fertilizing, nothing replaces a soil test.

Science-based advice.

The advice comes from peer-reviewed articles and extension guides. If it can't find a reliable source, it tells you and suggests who to ask.

No recipes from memory: doses, products and withdrawal times only when a study backs them up.

Every answer tells you where the information comes from, so you can check it.

What you should know.

It doesn't replace the vet

It guides you, but gives no definitive diagnoses or antibiotic prescriptions. If it suspects a notifiable disease, such as foot-and-mouth or rabies, it will tell you to isolate the animals and alert your country's animal health service right away.

Your data is yours

It keeps your messages, photos and field location to give you better advice. They are used for research without your name or number. Type DELETE in the chat and everything is erased.
