| Abstract/Contents: | Announces the introduction of the Distance Diagnostics through Digital Imaging Project, "a joint venture implemented by [the University of Georgia's] Plant Pathology Department & Office of Information Technology." Explains that "each year, Georgia turf managers and farmers through county Extension faculty submit more than 3,000 plant problem samples to the Plant Pathology Plant Disease Clinics for diagnosis. Of those, 920 were turfgrass samples in 2000. Traditionally, plant samples are mailed or hand-delivered for analysis." States that "computer equipment was provided by the private foundation-funded project. Extension country faculty at [the] agriculture imaging stations can take digital images of the diseased or pest-infested plant sample, and transmit those images along with grower information through the Internet to UGA [University of Georgia] scientists." Suggests that "the decrease in diagnostic turnaround time alone potentially saves millions of dollars for Georgia agriculture." States that "the scope of the project is not limited to Georgia agriculture applications. Illinois, Lousisana, Alabama and Texas have contracted with Georgia to customize programs for their Cooperative Extension Systems." Concludes that "the Internet Imaging System at the University of Georgia supports the development and maintenance of...databases and Internet based systems. These programs use the technology available to support the grass roots diagnostic and educational programs that are the foundation of a successful agricultural plant production program." |
