Abstract


Brazil is the second-largest soybean producer. With the arrival of Asian soybean rust in the Western Hemisphere in 2001, a considerable amount of resources has been allocated to understand and control this important yield-limiting disease. Due its rapidly dissemination, in 2004, the federal government led an effort to create the Asian soybean rust consortium, with the main goal of coordinating research activities involving public and private sector. This paper describes the development of a mobile application, designed to support the Asian Soybean Rust Consortium to monitor, in time and space, occurrences of Asian soybean rust in Brazil.
