WeatherIQ
A forecast is not advice.
WeatherIQ reads the weather against one field, one crop and one growth stage — then says what to do about it. 'Heavy rain expected' becomes 'delay spraying on Field 03A'.

Crop-stage rules
The same rain means something different at flowering than at harvest.
Alerts that name the field
Sent on SMS and WhatsApp, in the language the farmer uses.
Seasonal outlook and risk
Planting windows and the climate history of that location.
