Summary:Information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs) offer new opportunities to provide more timely information services to farmers. This work aims to present a progressive web app (PWA) for mobile devices, which incorporates updated technical information on the pests and diseases of grapevines. In its development, it generated a database with content related to and photographs of grapevine pests and diseases for access by users using mobile devices. In addition, using an Expert System, the application allows the diagnosis of pathologies and the identification of pests by answering questions that are asked. This PWA is mainly addressed to technicians, students, and winegrowers who want to implement more environmentally friendly crop management strategies. Viñamecum is currently freely.
