Buntata Web: easy identification of potato pests and diseases on any device

Body

"Anyone who grows potatoes, be it in large scale on a field, or in their back gardens - can learn to better understand potato pests and diseases, their cause and how to prevent them"

The James Hutton Institute's Information and Computational Sciences group have announced a web version of Buntata, the free mobile application launched last year to help potato growers identify plant pests and diseases in the field.

Following on from the success of the mobile app, which has quickly become the Institute's most popular application on the Android platform, the ICS team have taken it a step further and made Buntata available via a website that can be accessed from any device running a recent version of a web browser.
