Mobile Apps to Keep New Zealand Safe

Tranche 1: Project 2.5

Mobile technologies are being developed to help New Zealanders report suspected biosecurity threats, with the first step being a bilingual app that helps identify myrtle rust infections.

As part of this BioHeritage Challenge project, Dr Stephen Pawson from the University of Canterbury (previously Scion) led a team that has developed the Myrtle Rust Reporter app for observing common host plants that may be susceptible to myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii).
