How the free pages on laisha.ai are written, what they rest on, how they are checked, and how to tell us when something is wrong.
Who writes the pages
The pages on laisha.ai are written by the Laisha team at LAISHA (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, using AI writing tools to draft from published sources and then checking the draft against those sources. Pages are credited to Laisha rather than to a named author, because no single person writes them. We do not invent authors, reviewers or credentials, and we do not publish testimonials.
The Hindi pages under /hi/ are machine-assisted translations of English pages and have not been reviewed by a person; each one says it is a translation and that the English page is the original.
The pages are written for readers in every country. Where a rule, a registered product or a season depends on the country, the page says so and tells you to check with your local authority.
What the pages rest on
Every guide and reference page ends with the sources it was written from, linked where they are online. The main ones, by section:
- Grow guides: FAO production manuals and FAOSTAT data, GBIF and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for botanical names, floras, and national and university extension services.
- Pests and diseases: the CABI Compendium, the EPPO Global Database, university extension programmes (for example UC IPM and UF/IFAS), and research institutes such as ICAR, IRRI and CIMMYT where a pest matters most in their crops. Chemical control is described by mode-of-action group, using the IRAC classification for insecticides, FRAC for fungicides and HRAC for herbicides, so that a reader anywhere can rotate groups and slow resistance. We do not recommend brands; always follow the product label and the rules of your plant-protection authority.
- Laisha Explains and the degree manuals: standard textbooks and papers, cited at the end of each page.
- Exam practice: original questions written to each exam's published syllabus. They are not past papers, and each page says so. Every exam we list names the official source of its syllabus or format.
- Dravyaguna and Ayurveda study: the classical texts named on each page, the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India, and GBIF for the accepted botanical name, with the date each source was read.
Pages that need it say plainly what is not known or not settled, rather than filling the gap.
How the pages are checked
- Against the sources. Figures, names and classifications are checked against the sources listed on the page. Where sources disagree, the page says so.
- Practice questions. Automated tests check every question bank on every change: each question has a single keyed answer and an explanation, and every exam row names its source. On top of that we run sampled audits that do not trust the stored answer: numerical items are recomputed and factual items are checked against standard references. Wrong answers found this way are corrected in place.
- Safety. Pages about pesticides, animal health and medicinal plants are general reference, not a prescription, and say so. Before acting on a dose or a diagnosis, check with a qualified local expert, your extension officer, a veterinarian or a doctor.
Dates
Pages show when they were last updated or reviewed, and our sitemaps carry the same date. When we correct or expand a page, the date changes with it.
Keeping the site worth reading
We check the whole site on every release. A page that does not yet say enough on its own, or that repeats another page too closely (for example the same practice questions under the name of a second exam), stays available to readers who follow a link but is kept out of search engines until it has been expanded. We would rather have fewer pages that each answer a question well.
AI on Laisha
AI tools help us draft and check the free pages, as described above. Ask Laisha, the assistant inside the app, answers with an AI model guided by Laisha's library and shows how confident it is; see About. AI answers can be wrong, which is why the pages list their sources and invite corrections.
Advertising and offers
The free pages are paid for by Google ads and by Laisha Smarter, our own subscription, which some pages mention. Neither decides what a page says. Ads are placed and labelled by Google; we do not write paid content for advertisers.
Report a mistake
Write to [email protected] with the page's address and what you think is wrong. We read every message, correct mistakes openly, and update the page's date when we do.
