BKÜ GPT in the Field: Pesticide Lookup from Your Phone

What is BKÜ GPT?

BKÜ GPT is a free pesticide lookup tool for Turkey, available on iOS, Android, and the web at bkugpt.com. It covers 5,597 registered plant protection products (Bitki Koruma Ürünleri, abbreviated BKÜ) and lets agronomists, advisors, and dealer technicians search by crop, pest, active ingredient, or trade name. The mobile app shows the same data the desktop version shows, so a field visit and an office visit return the same product information.

Why pesticide lookup needs to work on a phone

An agronomist's day moves between greenhouses, tractor steps, and dealer counters. The phone is the reference within reach. A client points at a leaf with damage. The question is which registered pesticide to spray and at what dose.

With the phone in hand, the advisor reads the dose to the client during the visit. Spray happens the next morning. Yield loss from whitefly or red spider mite stops a day earlier.

How to look up a pesticide from the field

Open the BKÜ GPT app on iOS or Android, or bkugpt.com on the mobile browser. Type the pest and crop the way a client would describe it: "beyaz sinek domates" or "whitefly tomato". The result is a list of registered pesticides for that combination, with dose and pre-harvest interval visible on the list itself.

Voice input works in Turkish and English. With gloves on and one hand on a sample leaf, dictation is faster than typing. The same query returns the same registered products either way.

What does a pesticide product page show on mobile?

Every product on BKÜ GPT has a page with the fields an agronomist cites in a written recommendation:

• Trade name and active ingredient
• Formulation type (EC, WG, SC, SL, WP)
• Crops the product is registered on in Turkey
• Pests, diseases, or weeds it controls per crop
• Dose per decare or per 100 liters of water
• Pre-harvest interval, in days, per crop
• Manufacturer or license holder
• Registration status

The mobile layout stacks the fields. Nothing hides behind tabs. Dose for tomato sits next to dose for cucumber on the same scroll, so a multi-crop client does not need a second search.

Example: a field visit in Antalya

A greenhouse client in Antalya shows you red spider mite damage on strawberry. Harvest is in 5 days.

You type "kırmızı örümcek çilek" on the phone. The list shows acaricides registered for strawberry. You scan pre-harvest intervals and find one product at 3 days, another at 7. The 3-day product is the only one that fits the 5-day harvest window. You read the dose to the client, paste the product page URL into the WhatsApp thread you share with them, and walk to the next greenhouse.

Time on the phone: under 2 minutes, standing in the row.

How to share a pesticide recommendation with a client

Every product page has a stable URL. Paste it into WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS. The client opens the same page on their phone, sees the same trade name, dose, and pre-harvest interval, and can hand the screen to the dealer at the agro-store. No screenshot, no PDF, no second translation step.

For a season-long program with one client, save the search URL to the phone home screen. The same crop and pest pair is one tap away on the next visit.

How to verify a pesticide registration in seconds

A withdrawn product on a recommendation costs a client relationship. The registration status field is on every product page in the mobile app. Before reading a dose out loud, scroll to the status line. If the product is withdrawn, the active ingredient stays visible so a current substitute is one search away without leaving the screen.

When should advisors use BKÜ GPT in the field?

• During a client visit when the pest or symptom is in front of you
• At the dealer counter when a client asks if a trade name fits their crop
• Before reading a dose out loud to a worker mixing the spray tank
• After a phone call from a client describing damage you have not yet seen, while driving to the farm

Any time the phone is the only reference within reach.
