Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to help soybean growers make better informed decisions comparing pest control including weeds, insects and diseases, through the development of a pest identification application accessed via "smart technology" like i-Pads, i-Touch or smart phones.

This "smart technology" will:
- Assist users with the identification of specific pests through a series of questions.
- Provide descriptions and photos to help identify common and emerging weed, insect and disease species in Iowa soybean and corn fields.
- Provide overview of weed, insect and disease characteristics and morphology used in identification; and
- Provide species-specific information important...
