Pest and Disease Advisory

Part Infotech provides pest and disease advisory services to farmers, gardeners, and other agricultural professionals based on weather parameters. Services include monitoring of weather conditions, tracking of major pests and diseases, developing action plans for pest and disease management, and providing information on the best practices for pest and disease control. The advisory services also provide real-time updates on the impact of weather on pest and disease activity, as well as recommendations on when to take preventive measures to reduce the chances of crop loss.

Pest and Disease advisory an online decision-support system for farmers, promotes sustainable farming and optimizes farm operations. It does this by combining global data with local field data. The app also provides reliable forecasts of fungal disease pressure. This allows for more efficient spraying programs, resulting in reduced fungicides, labor and environmental costs. Advisory  can access the forecasted risks of downy mildew, powdery mildew and botrytis on individualized dashboards that contain user-friendly maps, tables and graphs at field level.

Next to weather variability, the occurrence of pests and diseases in crops is one of the main reasons for yield loss. Atmospheric conditions are the major driver for the development and spread of crop pests and diseases. When conditions are humid, diseases can easily develop, while the direction of migratory pests is among other things controlled by wind direction and rainfall patterns. Weather Impact forecasts if future weather conditions are suitable for the development of pest and disease.

When future atmospheric conditions are combined with land-use of crop stage data, for example from weather data, these forecasts can be further specified and converted into risk areas. This enables us to not only provide a probability for future outbreaks, but also identify the regions that are most at risk.

Scientific disease risk models are used to determine whether the weather conditions are favorable for an infection of fungal diseases. Advanced weather forecasts serve as input for these models to calculate the infection risk for the coming days.
