Key Responsibilities
Crop Accuracy Evaluation
- Verify that AI-generated advice on planting timing, irrigation scheduling, and crop harvest windows for specific crop types is agronomically accurate — drawing on your real-world farming and agronomy knowledge to identify errors or misleading guidance
- Evaluate the scientific soundness and practical applicability of AI crop management recommendations — assessing whether the advice would genuinely help a farmer achieve healthy, productive yields in real conditions
- Flag AI crop advice that is inaccurate, incomplete, or potentially harmful to crop outcomes — providing clear, evidence-based expert feedback that helps AI developers improve the farming guidance systems
- Ensure AI crop planning advice is appropriate for specific crop types, regional growing conditions, and seasonal variations relevant to US agricultural contexts and your area of farming expertise
Pest & Plant Disease Identification
- Review and evaluate AI-generated identifications of plant diseases and farm pest species — using your agricultural knowledge to verify whether the AI is correctly identifying the right disease or pest from images and descriptions
- Assess the accuracy of AI pest and disease management recommendations — evaluating whether the suggested treatments, timing, and application methods are appropriate, safe, and scientifically sound for the identified problem
- Provide expert input on common regional pest and disease patterns in the United States — helping the AI understand the specific pest and disease challenges that differ across American farming regions and climates
- Identify cases where AI plant disease or pest identification could lead farmers to apply incorrect treatments or miss serious crop threats — flagging these errors clearly for AI research and evaluation teams
Soil Health & Climate Checks
- Evaluate the scientific accuracy of AI recommendations related to soil health management — including fertilizer application rates, soil amendment advice, pH management, cover cropping guidance, and erosion control recommendations
- Verify that AI-generated advice on fertilizer and soil input use is environmentally safe, agronomically sound, and appropriate for the specific soil types and conditions described in each evaluated scenario
