Tuta absoluta website re-launched

Aug. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- The key new addition to the site is a new interactive Tuta Absoluta Distribution Map with facility for members of the net work to place a flag on locations in their country where they know that the pest has been reported. This will appear as an “unconfirmed” while the editors of the site will seek validation of the report before changing it to “confirmed”
A search facility has been added within each section of the website to enable more focused search within each of the following sections of News, Reports, Images and Discussion,
The discussion forum has been enhanced to make discussion more focused and also make it easy to know at an early stage if your question has been answered and how many responses are there for your question.
The display of the gallery has been improved to allow more photos to appear per page. It is also now showing the photos according to the date of publishing rather the old alphabetical order
The new website which was launched over two years ago have received over 100,000 hits worldwide and provided timely and up to date information and sharing platform to help to stem the advance of this damaging pest.
The simpler sleeker site is designed to load fast from locations with slow internet connection making it more accessible to agriculture extension workers.
The network is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian & Arabic to encourage information exchange and update and is maintained by Russell IPM.
