ForecastXtra
With our ForecastXtra DSS, growers can still have the benefits of improved treatment timing and input justification even though they do not have the resources to fully implement a field specific DSS such as PLANT-Plus. No user input is required.
Data from a reliable local weather station is required and this is automatically integrated with a local weather forecast. A central server manages all the data and generates a risk assessment for each particular disease or pest based upon its known biology and delivers this to the recipient's inbox via internet email.
Frequency of delivery is usually twice weekly but can be daily if required. The user receives a detailed risk report which looks into the future as well as the recent past and can plan and take appropriate action based upon local circumstances.
This allows the system to be proactive as well as reactive to conditions and allows a rational approach to be taken in the selection and application of protective and curative fungicides.
ForecastXtra allows the grower to
1. select the most appropriate type of treatment and apply at the best time
2. minimise use of agrochemicals and obtain cost effective crop protection
3. plan operations depending on conditions
4. increase the crop yield, storability and marketability through improved
crop protection
5. justify inputs in accordance with crop assurance requirements
