Crop Diagnosis Disclaimer

1. Screening is not a confirmed diagnosis

A photo can show symptoms shared by diseases, nutrient deficiencies, pests, chemical injury, or environmental stress. CropIntel may misidentify a condition or fail to detect one. A healthy result does not establish that a plant, field, or harvested crop is free of disease or safe for consumption.

2. Confidence and comparisons have limits

Confidence scores describe a model's relative assessment of the supplied image; they are not a measured probability that a field diagnosis is correct. Lighting, focus, crop selection, growth stage, geography, and conditions absent from model training can affect results. Photo comparisons do not measure yield, treatment efficacy, or confirmed disease progression.

3. When to seek qualified help

Consult a licensed agronomist, plant pathology laboratory, or local extension service for uncertain results, severe symptoms, spreading damage, significant crop loss, or a treatment decision. Provide field history, additional observations, and samples as the professional requests. Do not delay a qualified assessment because of an app result.

4. Pesticides, treatment, and safety

General disease information is not a pesticide prescription or an approval of a product, dosage, application method, timing, or legal use. Verify the crop, location, current registered label, restrictions, and professional guidance before acting. CropIntel does not certify food or feed safety, quarantine status, organic status, insurance eligibility, or regulatory compliance.

5. Local reports and maps

Community reports and acknowledgements are submitted by users and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unverified. A map marker is not official outbreak confirmation or a guarantee of risk at a particular property. No reports in an area does not mean there is no disease. Location and regional context should be checked against field observations and authoritative local sources.

6. Decisions and contact

You are responsible for verifying information before making farm, financial, treatment, or safety decisions. CropIntel does not guarantee a yield, profit, or treatment outcome. The warranty and liability provisions of the Terms of Use apply subject to rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
