Abstract/Contents:"Turfgrass managers, extension professionals, crop consultants and sod producers often require real-time, in-situ disease management recommendations and disease diagnosis. Taking advantage of universal mobile telecommunications systems, remote server technology and downloadable programs, we have developed an application (app) for Iphone® and Blackberry® "smart phones" which allows access to a library of resources in the field. The "Turfgrass Management" application contains a full suite of disease etiology, symptomatology, epidemiology, and disease and pathogen resources. Included are image galleries, cultural and chemical management strategies for forty-three foliar, root, crown, abiotic and non-infectious diseases, and descriptions of more than eighty fungicide products. The interface allows easy searching and crossreferencing by active ingredients or common name of fungicides, or by disease. Information is kept current and readily can be updated for new diseases, cultural strategies or new fungicide products. Additionally, the program contains a comprehensive description of turfgrass broadleaf, grassy, post emergent and pre-emergent weeds, herbicides, growth regulators, insects and insecticides as well as turfgrass taxonomy. More than 1600 subscriptions from over thirty countries have been downloaded in the nine weeks since the program was released."
