Phase 00 — Smart Scan

Open-ended
field intelligence.
One tap.

The zero-friction entry point. The farmer opens the camera, points it at their field, and taps once. Navi Leaf analyses the image and returns every anomaly it detects — disease, pest damage, nutrient deficiency, irrigation issues, weed encroachment, equipment problems — with urgency level, affected area marking, and a one-tap action to start treatment guidance.

Navi Leaf uses open-ended AI visual reasoning — not simple pattern-matching. It detects everything a trained agronomist would see: disease, nutrient deficiency, irrigation failure, pest damage, weed pressure. All in one scan, with no predefined limits on what it can find.

  • Urgency scoring: Low / Medium / High / Critical with colour-coded badges
  • Area-of-affect marking — targeted treatment, not blanket spraying
  • Lifecycle-aware: inspects against a stage-specific checklist (germination through post-harvest)
  • Post-harvest grading mode: A / B / C / Reject with market suitability advice
  • Estimated savings displayed per issue: "Targeted treatment saves ₹5,000–8,000 vs full-field spray"
  • Cost: ~$0.015/scan (cloud) · $0.00 (on-prem)
Navi Leaf Smart Scan — 7 issues detected, showing Powdery Mildew and Leaf Curling diagnoses
Detection Categories
Germination: Poor emergence density, damping-off, seed rot, soil crusting, waterlogging, rodent/bird damage.
Vegetative: Full disease/pest/nutrient/irrigation checklist. Leaf spots, wilting, aphid colonies, whitefly, mining trails. Nutrient deficiency by element (N, P, K, Fe, Mg, Ca, B). Weed competition, soil compaction.
Flowering: All vegetative issues + flower drop, poor pollination, thrips on petals, powdery mildew on buds, blossom blight, pollinator absence.
Fruiting: Fruit cracking, sunscald, blossom end rot, fruit borer, fruit fly, uneven ripening, improper trellising.
Post-Harvest: Grading mode — A/B/C/Reject with stacking quality, contamination check, pre-cooling status.
Why Not CNN Alone
A CNN model can only identify what it was trained on. A tomato disease classifier finds tomato diseases — but will never notice a kinked irrigation line, weed encroachment, or waterlogged soil. A VLM performs open-ended visual reasoning. It sees everything a trained agronomist would see. The CNN handles focused, fast classification (Phase 01). The VLM handles broad, exploratory analysis (Phase 00).
Cost at Scale
Typical farmer: 2–3 Smart Scans/day = $0.03–0.045/day. For 1,000 farmers: ~$900–1,350/month — well within B2B margin at Growth tier pricing. On-prem deployments using local VLM reduce this to $0.00/call. This is where on-prem becomes not just a privacy feature but an economic necessity.

AI Diagnosis.
Fully Offline.

On-device AI vision model fine-tuned on agricultural datasets including Indian field data. Inference in under 500ms at zero API cost. Works with zero internet — critical for rural India where 40% of agricultural land has poor connectivity.

The model identifies the exact disease, severity, and which plants are affected. A dedicated area detection model then highlights the precise area of infection with bounding boxes and segmentation masks overlaid on the camera preview — so treatment is targeted to exactly the affected zone.

  • Lightweight on-device vision model, fine-tuned on agricultural + Indian field data
  • Accuracy: 97–99% on benchmark · Target: >95% on real-world Indian photos
  • Inference: <500ms · Zero API cost · Zero internet required
  • Coverage: 15+ crops — tomato, potato, rice, wheat, corn, grape, apple, citrus, cotton, pepper, mango, chilli, banana, soybean, groundnut
  • Fallback: Unknown/ambiguous cases route to cloud AI vision for deeper analysis
  • Area localisation: Segmentation masks overlaid on camera preview

Traditional Approach

Farmer spots disease → panics → sprays entire field → 30–40% of pesticide wasted on healthy plants

Navi Leaf Approach

Smart Scan → area-of-affect mapped → treatment applied only where needed → savings compound

Hands in the field.
Voice in the ear.

01

PPE Safety Gate

Photo verification of gloves, mask, and eye protection before any chemical handling begins. This step cannot be skipped. The VLM checks the photo for correct PPE before unlocking the next step. Protects workers and creates a compliance record for every session.

→ Cannot be skipped · VLM visual verification · Photo stored in audit trail
02

Chemical Selection & Mixing

Recommends the appropriate pesticide or fungicide with Indian brand names and locally available alternatives. Step-by-step mixing guidance with exact dilution ratios, timing, water quantity, and container type — delivered by voice. The farmer's hands are mixing, not scrolling.

→ Indian brand names · Exact ratios · Voice-guided · Snap verification of mixed solution
03

Snap Verification

At critical steps, the worker photographs their work. The Snap Verifier agent checks the photo against the expected outcome — mixed solution for colour and consistency, application coverage, PPE compliance. Improper mixing routes back to the mixing step. The session cannot progress until verification passes.

→ VLM photo check · Pass/fail logged · Failure routing · Cannot skip
04

Application & Completion

Spray technique, distance from crop, coverage pattern, wind direction awareness, and targeted zone highlighted from the area-of-affect map. On completion, before/after photos are saved, treatment details are logged, and a follow-up check is automatically scheduled for Day 3, 7, and 14.

→ Zone targeting · Before/after photos · Follow-up auto-scheduled · Compliance record generated

Voice Guidance

Fully Hands-Free

All guidance delivered by voice in Indian languages. Voice input supported. The farmer never needs to touch the phone after starting a session. Multi-language support is on the roadmap.

Session Persistence

Sessions Never Lost

Sessions persist through phone calls, app switching, connectivity loss, and device restarts. A farmer who started mixing at 8am and is interrupted resumes exactly where they were at 2pm. No restart, no lost progress.

Escalation Workflow

Expert in the Loop

Unrecognised disease, repeated failures, or safety gate violations trigger an escalation. Supervisor or agronomist receives a push notification with full context — photos, diagnosis, GPS location. Session is paused (not terminated). All actions logged immutably.

SOP-Driven

Your Protocols, Guided

Guidance is driven by your own SOPs — uploaded as PDFs or DOCX. The AI parses them into structured steps, safety gates, and verification checkpoints. Agronomist reviews before publishing. Workers follow your protocols, not generic advice.

03
Phase 03 — Monitor

Treatment is
the beginning,
not the end.

After treatment, Navi Leaf schedules follow-up checks at Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14. The farmer receives a push notification, snaps the treated area, and Navi Leaf automatically compares the new photo with the Day 0 baseline.

If disease is spreading: stronger treatment protocol is recommended. If resolved: success is recorded and the crop lifecycle advances. If unresolved at Day 14: escalation to agricultural extension office and helpline number is initiated.

  • Day 3: First follow-up — compare with Day 0, detect early spread
  • Day 7: Confirm resolution or recommend repeat application
  • Day 14: Final check — resolved (success recorded) or escalate to expert
  • All check photos stored with timestamps and GPS in compliance record
  • Treatment outcome data feeds model retraining (with consent)
  • Crop insurance: all records serve as PMFBY supporting documentation

Versioning

Full Version Control

Every SOP change creates a new version — never overwrites. Rollback to any previous version instantly. Audit log tracks who changed what, when, and why. Workers mid-session complete on their version; new sessions use the update.

Approval Workflows

Draft → Approved → Live

Configurable approval chains: single approver, dual approval, or department-head sign-off. Reviewers receive notifications when a new version is submitted. SOPs cannot go live without approval.

Templates

Pre-Built for Indian Agriculture

Disease treatment protocols by crop type. Pesticide application guides with Indian brand names. Post-harvest handling and grading procedures. Equipment maintenance schedules. Organic farming and certification compliance.
