About the app

MyPestGuide Diseases is a web and mobile device-based field guide and identification app that lets grain growers, farmers, agronomists and industry representatives easily and quickly identify and report diseases of cereals, pulses, oilseeds and coarse grain crops, as well as stored grain and biosecurity diseases in Australia. 

Use MyPestGuide Diseases with the MyPestGuide Reporter app to help protect agriculture industries, the natural environment and your local community from exotic diseases of grain. Information captured by reports also builds disease incidence data to help direct future research. 

Disease reports are received by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) to identify the pest, reply to your device, and map it online so others can learn about disease problems.

The information gathered by MyPestGuide users strengthen and support Australia’s access to existing or new overseas trade markets by assisting the department in maintaining Australia’s pest-free status and inferring our freedom from exotic pests and diseases.
