Web-based predictions of plant diseases (2015-2016)
Weather-based predictions of plant diseases
AgriFI is a novel, FIWARE-based service, offered through the FIspace platform, that will provide the opportunity to farmers across Europe to:
1) get accurate and real-time predictions of possible diseases related to their crops and consequently activate rules and conditions that will trigger specific actions related to diseases,
2) get up-to-date information about diseases and nutrition recipes related to their crops and
3) capitalize on the FIspace platform to create a pan-European farmers’ community, sharing the same problems and discussing possible solutions.
Three web-based weather stations were installed at three sites in order to compare visiual monitorings of leaf diseases with their predictions which were derived from site-specific weather measurements introduced into existing disease models. The following table presents detailed informations about crops, their diseases, sites and parameter of assessments.
Crop | Disease | Site | Parameter of assessment |
---|---|---|---|
Potato | Phytophtohora infestans, Alternaria solani | Frankenhausen | Ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, leaf wetness |
Carrot | Alternaria dauci Cercospora carotae | Frankenhausen | Ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, leaf wetness |
Tomato | Phytophthora infestans, Alternaria solani, Septoria lycopersici | Frankenhausen | Ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, leaf wetness |
Barley | Pyrenophorateres | Vakola, Finnland | Ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, leaf wetness |
Wheat | Pyrenophora tritici-repentis | Vakola, Finnland | Ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, leaf wetness |
Wine | Uncinula necator, Plasmopara viticola, Botrytis cinerea | Nemea, Griechenland | Ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, leaf wetness |
