Are there any scouting workflow apps that provide mobile-friendly map overlays for pest and disease pressure?

Yes — there are several scouting/work management apps that include or can integrate mobile-friendly map overlays for pest and disease pressure. The exact feature set varies a lot, so it helps to separate them into a few buckets:

1) Full crop scouting / agronomy platforms with map layers

These typically let you scout in the field on a phone/tablet and view pressure as field maps, zone maps, or layers.

• Agworld

  • Strong scouting workflow
  • Mobile app
  • Map-based observations and pest/disease records
  • Good for linking scouting notes to field locations

• FarmQA

  • Scouting-centric
  • Mobile app for field observations
  • Map overlays for pest, disease, and other scouting data
  • Often used by agronomists and crop consultants

• Trimble Ag Software / Connected Farm ecosystem

  • Mobile field data collection
  • Mapping and layer support
  • Better if you’re already in the Trimble ecosystem

• Granular / Corteva

  • More operations-focused, but scouting and field records can be layered into maps depending on setup

2) Precision ag / FMIS platforms with scouting maps

These may not be “scouting-first,” but they often support map overlays and field issue tracking.

• Climate FieldView

  • Strong map visualization
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Great for layers and field data, though scouting workflows are less specialized than dedicated scouting tools

• Cropio

  • Satellite and field monitoring
  • Pest/disease risk and field maps in some configurations
  • Useful for pressure monitoring and alerts

• xarvio FIELD MANAGER

  • Disease and pest risk tools
  • Map-based recommendations and scouting support
  • More prescriptive/decision-support oriented

3) Customizable workflow apps with GIS/map overlays

If you want flexible mobile forms plus maps, these are often used for scouting:

• Fulcrum

  • Very good mobile data collection
  • GIS/map overlays
  • Custom pest/disease scouting forms
  • Strong for teams that want to tailor workflows

• Esri ArcGIS Field Maps

  • Excellent mobile maps and overlays
  • Strong GIS capabilities
  • Needs more setup, but very powerful for pest/disease pressure mapping

• GoCanvas / ProntoForms

  • Great mobile forms, can integrate map/location data
  • Usually more workflow than agronomy-specific, but adaptable

What to look for

If mobile map overlays are your priority, check whether the app supports:

• Offline maps for field work
• Geotagged observations
• Heat maps / severity layers
• Polygon field boundaries
• Photo + note attachments
• Threshold alerts
• Export to GIS or CSV
• Role-based dashboards for scouts vs managers

Best bets depending on your use case

• Most scouting-specific: FarmQA, Agworld
• Best for custom scouting workflows: Fulcrum, ArcGIS Field Maps
• Best for agronomy/decision support layers: FieldView, xarvio

If you want, I can narrow this down by:

1. crop type (orchard, vineyard, row crops, greenhouse, etc.),
2. team size, or
3. whether you need true map heat overlays vs just pinned scouting points.
