Sooty blotch and fly speck model
-- Description: uses petal fall biofix and hours of wetting to predict when control for these two diseases of apples is probably needed
Apple maturity predictor
-- Description: uses bloom dates & temperatures for the first month following bloom to predict the start of the main CA harvest window for the major apple varieties
Activities / phenologies driven by degree days
-- User can scroll through the growing season by degree days and see what insect and disease issues are likely of concern.. This is a web based and link rich version of the charts found in E154 "Fruit Management Guide"

On my to-do list, I have Cougarblight, Fire Blight Single Column output, changing apple scab model for cusp cases, changing dates for starts of model - and disabling before DD starts, allowing user to enter a biofix for Mac GT.
I am confused about allowing user to enter biofixes, however - I thought using the assist chart took care of that issue.
Also - "something" on irrigation.
I've updated the staging area site with the improved Fire Blight Assist Chart and Bill's edits to documentation - please comment/approve for upload:

Look at last year's data to trigger the DD55 symptom prediciton chart (must have EIP >=100 to trigger)
What will the process be for "release" of a new model or improvement?
Thanks! Hope this page facilitates communication without overloading - Tracy
This idea of a blog is a good one Bill, you are always pushing us on to the next technology. This is the first blog that I have activily participated in, an I suspect may be ture for many others. So, I am on a steep learning curve here.
Bill and I had a good conversation this morning about several aspects ofmEnvir-weather. He was taking notes to give to Tracy and Mark, so I'll let him my comments in.
Perhaps we will have time tomorrow morning at the end of the Fruit CAT call to talk about this a bit further as well.
Bobs suggestions were:
* explain what a span is for the scab infection periods
* let the user know where the biofix for Green tip are coming from (DD calculated versus agent source)
* on long outputs it may be desirable to insert column headings at least at the bottom again to be able to keep track.
* clearly label (maybe multiple label) forecast sections so users do not grab the bottommost information as being the current days value.
* make it easy to see hourly data associated with a scab wetting period (currently have to go over to MAWN)
* have a phenology section / web site for agents to input and review current and past plant and pest phenologies
