Agricultural Disease Prediction Systems
Agricultural Disease Forecast systems Can be used by growers to make economic decisions about disease treatments for control
Forecasting systems are based on assumption that pathogen thrive in certain weather conditions.
The objective is to accurately predict when the three factors - host, environment, and pathogen - all interact in such a fashion that disease can occur and cause economic losses.

Examples of diseases that can be predicted
Occurs in High temperature and Humidity conditions.
Mildew in grapes.
Thrives in moist, humid, and warm climates.
A minimum leaf wetness duration is required for grey leaf spot of corn to occur.
Grey Leaf Spot of corn.
Can be forecasted based on temperature, relative humidity and rainfall.
Late Potato Blight
Initiate spraying when accumulated risk is beyond threshold

Yuktix Crop Disease Prevention
Pathogens thrive in certain weather conditions. Access to weather data and statistical models can predict diseases in crops, e.g. mildew in grapes using Broome model or Potato Blight using CPRI JHULKA CAST model. Right prediction models can solve the problem of excessive spraying and economic losses.
