EDDMapS IPM

EDDMapS IPM is an app to report pests for commodities in counties.

EDDMapS IPM is designed for County Extension Agents, crop advisors and extension specialists to report current pest and disease activity in real time via smartphone. Currently, extension specialists in Georgia are testing this app and commodities are hand-selected, allowing us to refine the basic process and work on getting reliable data. Commodities include blueberry, cotton, wheat, vegetables, grain sorghum, corn and soybean. Only a handful of pests are included, with priority given to pests that affect more than one crop and whose presence in one crop may affect management in another. Agents have the option of reporting monthly, weekly or even daily if they deem it necessary.
