# Phase 5: IPM & Plant Health - Implementation Plan

## Goal

Implement a robust Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system to track plant health, schedule preventative treatments, and visualize pest pressure over time.

## 🏃 Sprint 1: IPM Scheduling Engine

**Objective**: Automate preventative care.

- **Backend**:
  - `IPMSchedulesController`: operationalize the `IPMSchedule` model.
  - Logic to auto-generate `Tasks` based on the schedule (e.g. "Spray Pyganic" every 3 days).
- **Frontend**:
  - **IPM Manager**: View to set up treatment plans for Batches (Product, Dosage, Interval).
  - **Schedule Visualization**: Calendar view specifically for Spray/IPM events.

## 🏃 Sprint 2: Scouting & Health Tracking

**Objective**: Record detailed observations.

- **Backend**:
  - Enhance `PlantTouchPoint` or create dedicated `scouting` endpoints.
  - Track `severity` (Low/Med/High) and `pestType` (Mites, Thrips, PM, etc.).
- **Frontend**:
  - **Scouting Form**: specialized modal for logging health checks (separate from generic "Touch Points").
  - **Photo Upload**: seamless photo attachment for evidence.

## 🏃 Sprint 3: Health History & Analysis

**Objective**: Visualizing the data.

- **Frontend**:
  - **Batch Health History**: A timeline or chart on the Batch Detail view showing health events.
  - **Pest Pressure Heatmap**: (Stretch goal) Visual indicator of rooms with high pest activity.

## Technical Dependencies

- `IPMSchedule` model exists in Prisma.
- `PlantTouchPoint` model exists but might need refinement for "Scouting" specific fields if not already covered.
- Need to integrate with the Task system created in Phase 4 (Scouting/Spraying should be Tasks).
