Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health Mobile Applications
We design and publish comprehensive mobile appilcations that engage users with invasive species, forest health, natural resource and agricultural management
Georgia Cotton Insect Advisor
At present time, the app is intended for management of stink bugs only. Recommendations are based on information on the manufacturer's label and performance data from research and Extension trials the University of Georgia.
Landscape Alternatives for Invasive Plants of the Midwest
This app focuses on plant species that are used ornamentally and have become invasive in at least part of the Midwest. Suggested alternatives include both native species and non-native species that currently show no signs of becoming invasive.
Great Lakes Early Detection Network
GLEDN is an invasive species early detection and warning system for the Great Lakes region developed through funding provided by the National Park Service as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
Forest Insect Pests
The photos present in this App are intended to help foresters, urban landscaping employees, or others working with trees recognize some of the common pest insects affecting trees in North America and understand their life cycles and how they damage trees.
VegDr
VegDr provides you with up-to-date information for vegetable diseases in Georgia. The app contains information on various diseases, images of the symptoms, and list what products are considered effective for control. At present time, the app is includes cucurbits (cucumber, watermelon, squash, cantaloupe, pumpkin) and solanaceous crops (tomato and pepper). Recommendations are based on information on the manufacturer’s label and performance data from research and Extension trials the University of Georgia. VegDr was developed by the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health in cooperation with the Department of Plant Pathology in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences with support from the Southern IPM Center and funding provided by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under Agreement No. 2012-41530-19778.
Great Lakes Vegetables
This Sweet Corn Pest Identification and Management guide is a quick, colorful, and handy reference for sweet corn growers, extension educators, crop consultants, and industry field representatives who work in the North Central Region and Ontario, Canada.
EDDMapS IPM
EDDMapS IPM is a new app designed to be used by County Extension Agents, crop advisors and extension specialists to report current pest and disease activity in real time via smartphone. Currently, a few extension specialists in Georgia are testing this app and commodities are hand-selected, allowing us to refine the basic process and work on getting reliable data. Commodities include blueberry, cotton, wheat, vegetables, grain sorghum, corn and soybean. Only a handful of pests are included, with priority given to pests that affect more than one crop and whose presence in one crop may affect management in another. Agents have the option of reporting monthly, weekly or even daily if they deem it necessary. Maps demonstrating up-to-date information are available for download on www.eddmaps.org/ipm/.

Texas Invaders
The Invaders of Texas Citizen Science program collects species observations from volunteer "citizen scientists" trained to use a specially developed Invasive Species Early Detection and Reporting Kit. With this kit, volunteers detect invaders' arrival and dispersal in their own local areas. The purpose of this database is to provide geographical locations and distributional information for known and "potentially" invasive plant species.
Invasive Plants in Southern Forests: Identification and Management
This app provides information on accurate identification of the 56 nonnative plants and groups that are currently invading the forests of the 13 Southern States. Recommendations for prevention and control of these species is provided from the booklet, "A Management Guide for Invasive Plants of Southern Forests"
MyIPM Series
MyIPM serves all fruit growers along the east coast by providing up-to-date information for cherry, cranberry, strawberry, bunch grape, blackberry, apple, pear, peach, and blueberry.
Southeast Agricultural Stink Bug ID
SE Agricultural Stink Bug ID is designed for use by university researchers, Extension specialists, county agents, consultants, scouts, and growers who need to identify stink bugs collected in agricultural settings. Images for most species include eggs, nymphs, and adults. Key characteristics of each species are highlighted to allow the user to easily identify a specimen in hand. Common names in parentheses indicate that no official common name has been adopted by the Entomological Society of America. The app was developed by the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health and the Department of Entomology, units in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, with funding from Cotton Incorporated.
IveGot1
IveGot1 brings the power of EDDMapS to your phone. Now you can submit invasive species observations directly with your phone from the field. These reports are sent to local and state verifiers for review. IveGot1 was developed by the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health through a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service, in cooperation with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the University of Florida Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants. IveGot1 is more than just an iPhone app, it is an integrated invasive species reporting and outreach campaign for Florida that includes the app, a website with direct access to invasive species reporting and a hotline 1-888-IVEGOT1 for instant reports of live animals.
iBiocontrol - Noxious Weeds and their Biocontrol Agents
Reference and Reporting for Invasive Plants and their biological control agents. This free application uses EDDMapS (www.eddmaps.org) to help county, state and federal agencies track releases and occurrences of biological control agents of noxious weeds.
EDDMapS Pro
EDDMapS Pro is an app for reporting invasive species. The app has the ability to download offline map data if users are going to be in areas where internet coverage may not be available.
Alaska Weeds ID
Alaska Weed ID brings the power of EDDMapS to your phone. Now you can use an interactive key to identify invasive plants and submit those observations directly with your iPhone from the field. By reporting sightings of invasive plants, we can better assess the extent of the infestations and hopefully eradicate new infestations before they become huge problems. The goal of Alaska Weed ID is to make identification and reporting of invasive plants as easy and efficient as possible.
Squeal on Pigs
The goals of the Squeal on Pigs app and campaign is to inform landowners of the threat of feral pigs to our natural resources, particularly waterways, provide landowners with the information they need to effectively and quickly report suspected sightings of feral pigs, provide states with tools to work with private landowners to eradicate known populations of feral pigs.
EDDMapS
With the EDDMapS app, we’ve united our existing invasive species and pest citizen science reporting and identification tools under one app.
