IPNI Releases Crop Nutrient Deficiency Photo Library App for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch

October 4th, 2012

IPNI launched a mobile device app called Crop Nutrient Deficiency Photo Library.


 “This is our first venture into mobile apps, and we think this offering will generate a lot of interest by crop advisers, consultants, farmers, students, and anyone wanting help in identifying nutrient deficiency symptoms in common crops,” said Dr. Terry Roberts, President, IPNI.


Based on IPNI’s popular Crop Nutrient Deficiency Image Collection (http://info.ipni.net/nutrientimagecollection), the app contains key photos of classic nutrient deficiency documented from research plots and farm fields for 14 common crops. It also provides supporting text and illustrations of nutrient deficiencies.


 The app can be downloaded and viewed on iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch devices. You can find the iTunes link online here.


 IPNI would like to thank our contributors for providing the images used in our collections, who are part of a worldwide network of agricultural researchers, extension staff, field scouts, and farmers.
