AgraScout App Available At No Cost To Universities
October 21, 2014 AgraScout, a fast and easy to use mobile crop scouting app, is now available at no cost to University students, professors, and extension agents.
AgraScout offers a number of powerful features like pest tracking, unlimited photo sharing, a live feed of recent scouting activity, and pest reporting for two dozen crop types and over 250 unique pests.
“The decision to give our software away was easy,” said Jamison Sheppard, Director of Design and Development. “Educators are given the tremendous responsibility of addressing the agricultural issues facing our world and they need the proper tools to carry out their mission. We believe AgraScout will help them.”
AgraScout is a new approach to crop scouting and pest monitoring. It gives agronomists and growers immediate notification of potential issues while also eliminating the hassle of hand-written reports. All pest data is anonymized and mapped to show the intensity and spread of disease, insects, and weeds.
“We believe in Integrated Pest Management as a practical solution to solving pest problems and reducing impact to both the environment and people,” Sheppard said. “Together with educators and students, we can preserve the ecosystem while sustainably and economically producing the world’s food supply.”
