Crop disease and pest research
Quickly identify plant diseases, pest pressure, and treatment options using evidence-based research. Get actionable spray programs and IPM strategies before problems escalate across your crop.
I'm seeing yellow stippling on tomato leaves in my greenhouse. What pests could cause this and what are the best organic control options?
Yellow stippling is a classic sign of two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae). For organic control: introduce Phytoseiulus persimilis predatory mites at 50/m², apply neem oil (azadirachtin) at 2% weekly, and increase relative humidity above 70% — mites thrive in dry conditions. Check undersides of leaves in the lower canopy first where infestations start.

Weather-driven climate management
Use weather forecasts to plan ventilation, shading, and heating decisions ahead of time. Avoid heat stress events and frost risk by integrating outside conditions into your daily crop management routine.
Give me the 5-day forecast for our greenhouse in Leamington, Ontario. I need to know if we should pre-heat tonight or plan extra venting tomorrow.
Tonight: lows hit -8°C — start supplemental heating by 8 PM. Tomorrow: daytime high of 24°C with full sun, expect greenhouse temps to exceed 32°C. Open ridge vents by 9 AM and run shade screens from 11 AM to 3 PM. Wednesday brings cloud cover so heating demand returns Thursday night.

Wholesale produce market pricing
Track current pricing for your crops across wholesale markets and distribution channels. Make informed decisions about harvest timing, packaging specs, and which buyers to prioritize for the best margin.
What are current wholesale prices for loose-leaf lettuce, mini cucumbers, and vine tomatoes on the Chicago terminal market this week?
Current Chicago terminal prices: loose-leaf lettuce $18-22/case (24ct), mini cucumbers $14-17/case (12×1lb), vine tomatoes $22-26/case (11lb). Vine tomatoes are up 15% from last week due to Florida frost damage — a good week to push volume through brokers.

Regulatory compliance research
Stay current on food safety regulations, GAP certification requirements, and pesticide registration rules. Research permissible chemicals, MRL limits, and documentation obligations for your target markets.
What are the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements for a commercial greenhouse growing hydroponic tomatoes sold to retail grocery chains?
For retail-destined greenhouse tomatoes, key FSMA PSR requirements include: water testing (microbial) at least once per growing season for foliar applications, worker training records, bathroom/handwashing facilities within 0.25 miles, visitor sign-in logs, and food safety plan documentation. Sprouts have stricter testing — standard tomatoes fall under the covered produce rules with annual FDA inspection cycles.

Production planning and scheduling
Build planting schedules, calculate transplant timing, and map harvest windows across your greenhouse bays. Align production peaks with contracted delivery windows and seasonal demand patterns.
Help me plan a 52-week lettuce production schedule for a 1-acre NFT greenhouse, targeting 2,000 heads per week for a food service contract starting in 6 weeks.
For a 1-acre NFT system at 2,000 heads/week: start seeding 18,000 seeds this week (allowing for germination thinning), transplant at 14 days, harvest at 35 days. You'll need 5 planting zones on a staggered weekly schedule. First contract delivery achievable in week 6. Plan for 30% buffer rows during summer heat to offset slower growth rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI help identify plant diseases from descriptions alone?
Yes — describing symptoms clearly (which plant part is affected, color, pattern, whether it spreads) allows Deep Research to compile diagnostic guides from plant pathology databases and extension resources. For definitive diagnosis, AI research pairs well with lab tissue testing or sending samples to a university extension plant diagnostic lab.
How current is the wholesale produce pricing data?
Web Search pulls current data from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service terminal market reports, produce trade publications, and broker postings. Prices reflect the current week's trading. For contracted pricing, always verify with your buyer directly, as spot market prices fluctuate daily.
Can I use these tools to create food safety documentation?
Deep Research can help you understand FSMA requirements, GAP certification standards, and food safety plan templates. It can also help you draft standard operating procedures and training materials. Final food safety plans should be reviewed by a qualified food safety professional or extension specialist.
How useful is weather data for greenhouse management?
Very useful for outside temperature, solar radiation forecasts, and wind events. Weather Forecast provides 7-day hourly data that helps you plan pre-emptive heating, venting, and shading decisions. Internal greenhouse conditions still require your own sensors, but outside weather is the key input driving those decisions.
Can these tools help with grant applications for greenhouse expansion?
Yes — Web Search and Deep Research can find currently open USDA REAP, NRCS EQIP, and specialty crop grants. Deep Research can also compile information about state-level agricultural development funds and summarize eligibility criteria to help you determine which programs to pursue.
