AI Garden Help – How Rolf Diagnoses Yellow Tomato Leaves

Problem

Yellowing can have many causes: nitrogen or iron deficiency, waterlogging, pH issues, pests. Without a solid diagnosis, treatment becomes trial‑and‑error and costs yield.

AI Solution

Rolf uploads multiple photos (leaf close‑ups, stem, full plant) and adds context: location, soil, watering. The AI combines image analysis with a questionnaire:

1. Image analysis: chlorosis patterns, veins, spots.
2. Context check: pot/bed, substrate, last feeding, pH, weather.
3. Diagnosis: high likelihood of nutrient deficiency (e.g., N or Fe).
4. Care plan: suitable fertilizer (NPK/Fe chelate), dosage, frequency; also verify watering and pH.

Example Plan

• Today: apply liquid fertilizer as directed; avoid waterlogging.
• In 7 days: re‑check; repeat if needed.
• Long term: improve soil (compost), mulch, water evenly.

Outcome

After a few days, new leaves turn deeper green and growth stabilizes – visible recovery.

Benefits

• Targeted: images + context instead of guessing.
• Fast: diagnosis and actions within minutes.
• Educational: understand causes and improve care.

Limitations

• Similar symptoms from pests/diseases – inspect leaf undersides and stems.
• Follow dosage strictly; avoid over‑fertilizing.
• Seek expert advice for severe or persistent issues.
