Extension Plant Clinics Database Information


Criteria for Database selection, in Rich Text Format (RTF)
Brief funding proposal, in Rich Text Format (RTF)
The database selected to power the lab is Plant Disease and Insect Clinic created at North Carolina State University by Tom Creswell and Ray Kimsey. The database will need modification for MSU clinic needs.

Prasanth Buchi, a graduate student in computer science is working on the database for us. His primary work to date has been on a web interface, privelege allocation, a complex set of small programs for nematode recommendations, changing report formats, and implementing pdf features.

Significant modifications will include improved sample information/tracking, sample input by web browser, use for Digitally Assisted Diagnosis (DAD), mapping functions for epidemiological tracking, and XML interface with regional/national databases.
