IPM Pest and Plant Disease Models and Forecasting
   For Pest Modeling in the US for Agricultural, Pest Management, and Plant Biosecurity Decision Support in the US
Introduction:
This website combines US weather and climate data (36,000+ locations) with numerous models to support a wide range of agricultural decision making needs. We currently serve over 145 degree-day (DD) models, DD maps, 22 hourly weather driven models, 12 mobile-friendly plant disease infection risk models, and 5 synoptic plant disease alert maps for integrated pest management (IPM), invasive species, biological control, and other uses for the full USA. See a more complete project description here.
Our primary Degree-Day (DD) Model & Calculator Interfaces (see Shortcut Links tab for others):
      
  1. "dd/model_app" our newest mobile-enabled DD model interface
  2. Signup for automated "push" emails of 140+ DD and disease risk models
  3. "MyPest Page" Disease risk, DD, other models (also see Quick Start tab)

Partners and Support:
We are actively collaborating and partnering with Fox Weather, LLC and the National Weather Service for forecasts, with the OSU PRISM Climate group for climate data, with the W. Region IPM Center, the USA National Phenology Network, and with numerous state and private IPM decision support programs and entities. Funding has been provided by numerous USDA NIFA grants (including IPM, Biosecurity, and SARE), USDA PPQ, RMA and ipmPIPE grants, NPDN grants, WR-IPM Center and Oregon Statewide IPM funds, and local and regional commodity grants.
