iPiPE lite app, developed specifically for the iPiPE program, makes submitting pest observations simple and quick from anywhere, at any time with just a couple of clicks. The app is fully integrated with the iPiPE website. Submitted data are immediately available for viewing, mapping, and decision making. Data may be submitted by anyone with an iPiPE account, which is very simple to obtain.
The Integrated Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education (iPiPE) was created to promote the exchange of pest data among agricultural professionals. It is an information technology platform that provides tools and models for managing and analyzing data in order to generate products and commentary in support of agricultural decision making. The iPiPE brings together producers, crop consultants, extension professionals and industry, federal, and state partners to exchange pest observations while protecting participant privacy.
The iPiPE is a collaborative venture among the USDA NIFA, Pennsylvania State University, North Carolina State University, the Regional IPM Centers, the information technology company ZedX Inc. and other stakeholders.
An active iPiPE account is required to use this app.
