Plant Sample Submission App
This new phone app provides an additional tool to Montana farmers
and ranchers, who might otherwise text, email or send samples through
the mail to the Schutter Diagnostic Lab at Montana State University.
The MSU lab provides identification services for plant diseases, insects,
weeds, native plants, and mushrooms.
Farmers using this app, for example, can take a digital photo of an
abnormal wheat stem, then upload the photo and fill out a form with their
questions, extra details and contact information. The app will direct the
query to the proper expert to determine the cause and suggest possible
remedies for the problem. The recommendations are responsive to client
needs and use the principles of integrated pest management.
The app was developed by diagnosticians in other states, and 10
states currently participate. They are all members of the United States
Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture
National Plant Diagnostic Network.
