Crop scouting coverage across blocks
Every mite and trap count is pinned to the block where it was taken. A lead adviser can see which growers’ blocks were scouted this week and which are due for the next check.
Ranches, blocks and scouted fields
Say each count with its sampling unit, such as mites per leaf or eggs per trap, and the note keeps the number and the unit together for that block.

What PropelMapper does not do for agricultural IPM scouting
PropelMapper does not identify a pest or decide whether to spray.
It does not validate a pesticide recommendation against labels or state rules.
A scouting report is not a substitute for a legally required written recommendation.
Questions about agricultural IPM scouting
Is this the same workflow as commercial pest service?
The record structure is shared, but agricultural scouting uses growers and fields. Counts and observations support the adviser’s recommendation; warehouse zones and bait stations belong to the commercial pest service example.
Can I keep the sampling method with a pest count?
Record the method and unit with the count, such as aphids per plant or insects per sweep. The transcript and source visit remain available while you review the report.
