The app helps determine various problems in the field using image recognition. Depending on the region and the application, these may be weeds, diseases or pest traps (e.g. yellow traps or glue traps). Based on the image and metadata (which also includes GPS data) transmitted by users, the app offers a decision support tool. To this end, the app provides certain probabilities for each image on the type and/or number of the species, but cannot make a conclusive assessment. You remain solely responsible for making this decision and others that depend on it remains.
Please note the following restrictions to which the decision guidance generated by the app is subject:
The decision guidance is generated by highly complex algorithms. However, an algorithm is of course unable to map every special feature of the individual case. In other words, the app merely offers the best possible approximation to tailored decision guidance.
The algorithms are constantly trained using new and updated data which forms the basis for the decision guidance. BAYER compiles this data with professional care to the best of its knowledge, but cannot guarantee the correctness, completeness and timeliness of the data. Errors in a data record may lead to unreliable decision guidance.
BAYER therefore accepts no guarantee or other liability, either expressly or tacitly, for the correctness, completeness and timeliness of the information and decision guidance contained in this app.
We therefore recommend that you check all the information you obtain from this app prior to using it in whatever form. Should you require any recommendations or information on this app, please contact us directly at datadrivenfarming@bayer.com.

Neither BAYER nor third parties involved in the writing, production or transmission of this app can be held liable for damage or injury resulting from access or the impossibility of access, or from the use or impossibility of use, of this app or from the fact that you have relied on information given in this app.
BAYER gives no guarantee that you can achieve the desired results through using the app.
The app may also contain links or references to third-party websites. These links to third-party websites do not constitute approval of their contents by BAYER. Neither does BAYER accept any responsibility for the availability or the contents of such websites, or any liability for damage or injury resulting from the use of such contents, of whatever form. BAYER offers no guarantee that information on such pages is of consistent quality. Links to websites are provided to app users merely for the sake of convenience.
