Citrus Diseases App is the hand-held application component of Citrus Diseases. Citrus Diseases is a LUCID® tool available at: http://idtools.org/id/citrus/diseases/. Citrus Diseases tools and Citrus Diseases app are components of the Citrus Resources tool. Development of the Citrus Diseases LUCID® tool was funded by USDA-APHIS-PPQ. Conversion of the Citrus Diseases tool to a hand-held identification application was funded through USDA-NIFA grant no. 2011-41533-31090 entitled "New Technologies and Educational Material to Address National Emerging Citrus Pests and Citrus Diseases" to the University of Florida/IFAS Extension. Citrus Disease App is a partnership between the University of Florida/IFAS Extension, Texas A&M University, the University of California-Riverside, and USDA-APHIS-PPQ.
For questions or concerns regarding the technical functionality of Citrus Diseases App, please contact UF/IFAS Programmer Navya Kooram navyakooram@ufl.edu or Project Coordinator Amanda Hodges achodges@ufl.edu.
