Crop pest and disease occurrences, aggravated by climate, greatly affect global food production. To address this issue, a system named SPIdTech (Smarter Pest Identification Technology) was developed to educate and help farmers and other agricultural workers in identifying, managing, and reporting major pest and disease in rice, corn, coffee, cacao, banana, coconut, sugarcane, soybean and tomato in the Philippines. It provides two major features: Pest and Disease Identification that uses machine learning technology to identify as a virtual encyclopedia containing data on identification signs, life stages, management practices, and other pertinent information about a pest or disease. Data such as GPS location to map and tag the data, top three identification results to monitor the occurrence of pest and disease in the area, and image data to record and verify the results were collected from the users for faster and remote monitoring. An offline version was also developed to extend the capacity of the application to areas with minimal internet connectivity. More than being a system for monitoring, SPIdTech is an educational platform that will raise familiarization with common pests and diseases in the Philippines.
