Growing Interactive produces the leading online software and apps that gardeners and small-scale farms use to plan the edible crops they grow and achieve increased levels of success. Over ¼ million gardeners and farmers have used our software and apps. We hold a wealth of location-based information on which crops, varieties and quantities gardeners are growing in their location and we are extending the recording to include dated observations of pests and diseases on crops.This project will statistically analyse the crowd-sourced pest and disease observations recorded in our apps in conjunction with meteorological information to develop much more accurate predictive systems along with innovative visualisations to help predict pest and disease emergence on crops. Meteorological information and weather forecasts can then be used to provide significantly improved pest prediction for growers for the current growing season specific to their location. These will form the basis of new services for our customers, the horticultural industry and agriculture, helping growers to reduce losses due to plant pests and diseases.

Growing Interactive 生产领先的在线软件和应用程序，园丁和小规模农场使用它们来规划他们种植的食用作物并取得更大的成功。超过 1/4 百万园丁和农民使用了我们的软件和应用程序。我们拥有大量关于园丁在其所在地种植的农作物、品种和数量的位置信息，并且我们正在扩展记录，以包括对农作物病虫害的过时观察。该项目将结合气象信息对我们的应用程序中记录的众包病虫害观察结果进行统计分析，以开发更准确的预测系统以及创新的可视化效果，以帮助预测病虫害的出现 农作物。然后，气象信息和天气预报可用于为种植者提供针对其所在地区当前生长季节的显着改进的害虫预测。这些将为我们的客户、园艺业和农业奠定新服务的基础，帮助种植者减少植物病虫害造成的损失。
