# How Can I Report Pests and Diseases and Track the Response?

You report and track by logging each sighting with field, pest or disease, severity, and photos, then creating a response case with the recommendation, the action taken, and a follow-up date to check whether the problem was controlled. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Forms**, a **Pipe** for cases, and **Tasks**.

A pest outbreak can spread fast. When sightings are discussed informally and the response is not tracked, decisions are delayed, and the farm cannot tell later which actions worked and which did not.

## What informal pest response costs

- Slow reactions that allow problems to spread
- Treatments applied without recording the result
- The same infestation returning without a clear record of earlier action
- No data on pest pressure by field and season
- Unclear responsibility for follow-up checks

## How pest and disease tracking works

- Each sighting is a **record** with field, type, severity, and photos
- A response case records the recommendation and the action
- A follow-up task checks the result after a set number of days
- A dashboard shows incidence by field and period

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Responses are faster and better coordinated
- Results of treatments are documented
- Historical pressure helps plan prevention
- This scales from a few fields to large farms

| Slow response, no learning   | Documented from sighting to result |
