Need help finding natural enemies? There's an app for that. THE Great Lakes Vegetable Working Group (GLVWG), in conjunction with The Ohio State University (OSU), will be releasing a new resource through the Apple App Store that will help growers identify natural enemies, native plants, and pollinators in the field. The app is called "Good Bugs +." Typically, Extension educators encourage growers to use fact sheets and bulletins to help them identify plants and insects. With this app, growers will beable to access informa tion with the swipe of a finger. This app "gives [growers] instant information that's portable ... [it's] easier for growers to have one resource to diagnose [ben-eficials] in the field/' says Jim Jasinski, assistant professor at OSU Extension, IPM Program, and one of the lead authors involved with the app.
