UNIV OF MISSOURI EXTENSION RELEASES WEED ID APP
Jan. 3, 2013
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
A new "app" for newer smart phones and tablets has been developed by the University of Missouri Extension to help name that weed. Extension weed specialist Kevin Bradley says the name of the app is "ID Weed."
Bradley tells Brownfield Ag News, "It's our attempt to help somebody standing out in the field with an unknown weed to be able to answer a few questions, look through some possibilities and arrive at the identity of their unknown weed."
Bradley says the weed app is free and there's none other like it, "We're happy about it. I'm sure there'll be more updates and changes as we learn more but we like what we've got out there right now."
The importance of weed identification, he says, can't be underestimated as glyphosate resistance increases. Bradley says they hope to include weed management solutions in future applications. There are more than 400 weeds in the ID Weed app.
