Yes — here are some good plant health advisory resources where you can compare scouting approaches, pest/disease symptoms, and detection examples:

General plant health / scouting references

  • UC IPM (University of California Integrated Pest Management)
    Very strong for scouting methods, pest lifecycle info, and symptom photos.
    https://ipm.ucanr.edu/

  • Cornell Integrated Crop Management (Cornell IPM / Extension)
    Good scouting guidance and crop-specific pest management examples.
    https://cals.cornell.edu/integrated-pest-management

  • Penn State Extension Plant Disease / Insect Pest resources
    Practical field scouting advice and diagnostic examples.
    https://extension.psu.edu/

  • University of Minnesota Extension - Plant Health / Crop Scouts
    Useful scouting checklists and disease/pest identification.
    https://extension.umn.edu/

Crop protection and pest detection examples

Disease diagnosis / symptom comparison

  • APS (American Phytopathological Society) resources
    Strong disease identification references and extension-style materials.
    https://www.apsnet.org/

  • PlantVillage
    Great for symptom examples and image-based disease detection comparisons.
    https://plantvillage.psu.edu/

If you want “scouting in practice”

Look for pages that include:

  • threshold-based scouting
  • transect or zig-zag sampling
  • sticky trap monitoring
  • degree-day models
  • symptom photo libraries
  • management decision guides

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by crop (corn, soybean, orchard, vegetables, turf, etc.), or
  2. a comparison table of these sites by scouting style, image quality, and diagnostic depth.
