Abstract

Weather based pest forecast models are important tools for IPM implementation. The Network for Environmental and Weather Applications (NEWA, newa.cornell.edu) provides forecasts for important pests of fruits and vegetables. A 2007 survey (Carroll et al.) of farmers using NEWA showed that use of pest forecasts saved an average $19,500 in spray costs and prevented an average of $264,000 in crop losses each year. The survey also found that vegetable growers comprised only 30% of users, a level we hope to increase through this project. We updated the NEWA vegetable models to improve the user interface and incorporate forecast weather.
