The plants may respond negatively to the herbicides therefore alerting the farmer that the treatment is not suitable. When it is identified earlier enough that the crops or the field is not compatible with the chemical, then some of the damages will be avoided. It is easier to tell the sensitive and insensitive fields when using this application.

It also helps the neighboring farmers to understand the levels of intolerance to some herbicides.
