“Important information related to soybean production in Arkansas has been put in one place,” said Dharmendra Saraswat, associate professor of geospatial technology and extension geospatial engineer for the Division of Agriculture.
The app, which operates on the Android Operating System, features reference images for a wide variety of nutrient deficiency symptoms, as well as pests and diseases, Saraswat said.
Because all the production guidelines and reference information is included in the app itself, users don’t need a Wi-Fi connection to access the information once the app is installed on a smart phone or tablet, Saraswat said.
