Decision support systems in Europe
This list represents known DSSs used for chemical control of wheat diseases in Europe. The list was compiled via a DSS workshop in the EUDURE project. Please follow the links and find more detailed information about each DSS
Country, name of DSS and link | Target | Users | Contact/Owner |
 SIMONTO | Help to organize fieldwork and optimising disease control. | SIMONTO is provided to German farmers and advisers via an established online infrastructure for agricultural extension. Requires meteological data. through the internet portal ISIP. Licence to other institutions is possible | Dr Benno Kleinhenz ISIP Rudesheimer strasse 60-6855545 Bad Kreuznach, DE kleinhenz@zepp.info |
SIMCERC3 | Forecast for risk for eyespot on a regional or field basic in order to assess if treatment is needed | SIMCERCO3 is provided to German farmers and advisers via an established online infrastructure for agricultural extension. Requires meteological data. through the internet portal ISIP.Licence to other institutions is possible | Dr Benno Kleinhenz ISIP Rudesheimer strasse 60-6855545 Bad Kreuznach, DE kleinhenz@zepp.info |
 CRYPTO-LIS | Online system: Contains standard recommendations with fungicides according to regions and cultivars. | Dose response function, additive model for efficacy in mixture is used to compare fungicides. Variety susceptibility and region diseases pressure data are combined to estimate the disease risk at a regional level. Agronomic risk calculation is included for estimation of eyespot and fusarium risk at the field level. | Claude Maumene Arvalis Station Experimentale 91720 Boigneville c.maumene@arvalisinstitutduvegetal.fr |
 CPOdiseases | Online system:Based on field registration recommendation can be given for control | System is developed for farmers and advisors. Based on information on cultivars, growth stages, weather data and disease levels specific recommendation for spraying or not is given. The system can be entered by UserID: eurowheat Password: pvodemo The system has been validated under Danish conditions. An English version is available. | Lise Nistrup Jørgensen Department of Agroecology - Crop Health Forsøgsvej 1 4200 Slagelse Denmark lisen.jorgensen@agro.au.dk |
SORTINFO | Online system with updated information on cultivar resistance, yield response to chemical control, predicted need for fungicides, etc | The system is developed for farmers and advisors. The system includes information on all relevant cultivars susceptibility to wheat diseases. The system is updated with information from yearly field trials. Cultivars yields and yield response to fungicides is included. | Lars Eriksen, Danish Agricultural Advisory Service Crop Production Udkærsvej 15, DK-8200 Århus N MHS@Landscentret.dk |
 FUSAPROG | Online system to assess the risk of fusarium and toxin in wheat | The system is developed for farmers and advisors,The DON-model combines decision algorithms based on the cropping system with calculated weather risk values. Weather data and forecasted DON contamination are analysed according to specific calculation models,Validated on Swizz data. | Agroscope Reckenholz-Tänikon ART Reckenholzstrasse 191 8046 Zürich Dr. Hans-Rudolf Forrer or Tomke.Musa@art.admin.ch |
 HGCA dose response | Dose response curves for control of major diseases in wheat | The system gives possibilities of ranking the fungicides efficacy based on field trials. It is readily available with information from specific years | HGCA (Home-Grown Cereals Authority) Caledonia House 223 Pentonville Road London N1 9HY Neil.Paveley@adas.co.uk |
