Important updates to the Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network Quick Disease Reporter Tool (PCDMN QDRT): Reporting is now done on a municipality basis and not GPS

We continue to work on refining the Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network Quick Disease Reporter Tool (PCDMN QDRT) to make it more user friendly, while also respecting confidentiality and privacy.  The QDRT now logs reports solely based on municipalities within Provinces.  The GPS component of the tool has been removed and thus reports can be submitted without any field specific information.  

On June 1, 2022 we launched the updated Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network Quick Disease Reporter Tool (PCDMN QDRT) for the 2022 growing season (https://prairiecropdisease.blogspot.com/2022/06/announcing-2022-launch-of-prairie-crop.html).  

This blog post and others regarding the PCDMN QDRT in 2021 and 2022 are now outdated as various updates have been done with the app.  These updates have been focused on addressing privacy concerns from farmers, crop consultants and others who may use the app as well as functionality.   The new tutorial can be found at this link (https://prairiecropdisease.blogspot.com/2023/05/prairie-crop-disease-monitoring-network.html), while the new QR code for the PCDMN QDRT app is as follows:
