New pest animals app for smart phones
Smart phone users can now access the latest information about Australia’s worst pest animals via the new ‘Field Guide to Pest Animals of Australia’ app, produced by the Invasive Animals CRC.
The app contains detailed species descriptions, photo galleries, maps, control techniques and quick links to useful pest control resources, as well as audio calls and photos of footprints, tracks, and droppings, making it easier to identify pest animals in the field.
The app can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store.

Can you help enhance the Agrochemical App?
The AWRI Agrochemical Search app gives growers access to ‘Dog Book’ Agrochemical information on-the-go via mobile phones or tablets. The user selects the target pest or disease and the growth stage of the vine to receive a list of recommended active constituents and products registered in Australia. It can be downloaded for free from iTunes or Google Play
An upgrade of the app to give further assistance to growers is now underway. To make sure this upgrade is as useful as possible, feedback from current app users is essential. AWRI asks you to complete this very short survey and have your say about the types of functions or information that would help you make spray decisions.

What does drumMUSTER mean for Australian rural chemical users?
The drumMUSTER service benefits both the user, the environment, industry and the wider community by providing a reliable, cost effective and sustainable option for the recycling of empty eligible agvet chemical containers.
Working hand-in-hand with local councils and other collection agencies, drumMUSTER has established collection facilities all over Australia and since its inception in 1998 the program has recycled over 20 million containers.
Once the containers have been collected, they are recycled into re-usable products such as wheelie bins, road signs, fence posts and bollards.
