Abstract: Early detection of forest pests and diseases is crucial to develop management strategies aimed at mitigating its impact on commercial plantations. We developed the pest and disease recognition smartphone app P-FOR INIA, targeting foresters, students and general public. It consists of three modules: a library, a symptom key, and a query module. In the library module, users can access different factsheets with information about the most important forest pests and diseases of eucalypts and pines in Uruguay. The symptom key module provides an interactive key users can rely on to identify forest health problems through a set of guided questions. In the query module, users can take pictures and post a query about the problem they are looking at. A group of forest health experts is responsible for the answer. This tool allows
incidental data collection on distribution and seasonality of key forest pests and diseases, and it also improves communication between foresters and tree health experts regarding forest health topics. New modules such as pest and disease alerts, new pest and disease reports, and national monitoring and surveillance data management could be incorporated in the future.
