This application provides weather-based forecasting and risk assessments for various crop diseases, helping farmers, crop advisors, and agricultural researchers to make data-driven decisions.

Features:

• Interactive weather map with disease risk visualization.
• Dynamic data for different forecasting dates and diseases.
• Downloadable reports.

How It Works:
The application uses data from both WiscoNet weather stations, and the IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite gridded site-specific weather data source along with forecasting models. Crop disease models were developed based on disease information from university researchers around the country including partners of the Crop Protection Network.
