Beginning in September 2017, this short project is tasked with developing a potato disease, disorder and pest app for Australian potato growers and others in the industry. The application – set to be available for smartphones, tablets and computers – will provide a visual reference of pests and diseases affecting potato quality, to help in-field detection and diagnosis.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
