Syngenta launched GreenCast Connect, a mobile app that aims to streamline decision-making, optimize resource use and help managers meet the highest standards of quality.
“GreenCast Connect represents a significant leap forward in digital agronomy,” said Steve Dorer, head of Syngenta Digital Platforms. “By putting powerful, real-time data and analytics directly into the hands of turf professionals, we’re enabling enhanced decision-making and more efficient resource management.”
GreenCast Connect offers three levels of access. The free basic tier features site-specific weather and pest alert tools including the Smith-Kerns dollar spot model. The advanced tier paid version includes enhanced pest alerts and growing degree day (GDD) trackers, and the pro tier integrates seamlessly with Spiio soil sensors to provide a comprehensive, all-in-one digital agronomy solution. The app's customizable dashboard ensures that essential data, predictions and recommendations are always at users' fingertips.
Key features of GreenCast Connect include:
- Forecasting: Accurate, GPS-based predictions for weather, pest activity, turf growth and soil conditions
- Alerting: Customizable notifications for severe weather events, pest risks and changes in soil conditions
- Tracking: Advanced models to monitor and predict risks from diseases, weeds and insects

GreenCast Connect is now available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play store platforms. Turf and landscape professionals are encouraged to download the app and experience first hand how it can enhance their day-to-day operations and drive smarter, more sustainable turf management.
