The mobile app allows users to:
• diagnose herbicide injury with a diagnostic key that uses visual symptoms of the plant(s) to narrow down the possible herbicides
• search for specific herbicides or sites-of-actions (groups) if the user believes he/she knows what type of herbicide is responsible for damage
• take photos and e-mail them directly to Dr. Bradley for diagnostic help

This mobile app will be available on Apple and android devices. Most data will be stored on the phone so that relevant images and information are available to the end user at all times, regardless of cell reception.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
