Pacific Pests Pathogens Weeds
Fiji
Developed by LucidMobile, the Pacific Pests Pathogens Weeds is a mobile app based digital solution which gives extension staff and lead farmers in Fiji all the information related to crop pests and diseases they need to treat the crop. It also advises on preventive measures for future if there is no way of saving a crop. Another feature of this app is access to the PestNet Community which helps people anywhere in the world, including Fiji, obtain advice and information on plant protection. PestNet users include crop growers, extension officers, researchers, and biosecurity personnel.
