Stripe rust management app for wheat. StripeRustWM uses a forecasting model to assist wheat growers with fungicide application decisions, on a paddock by paddock basis, and the likely economic returns from those decisions.
The user can specify individual paddock data as well as expected weather conditions so that the output relates to their own cropping circumstances.

StripeRustWM helps you manage stripe rust disease in Australian wheat crops. StripeRustWM draws on several years of field trials and observations, as well as experimental data and expert knowledge from researchers and agronomists to forecast the likely result and economic return of spraying for this problematic disease. StripeRustWM takes account of costs, yield benefits, grain price and seasonal conditions to give you the best case, worst case and most likely estimates of fungicide control. It is important when using the App, to have the most current variety resistance rating for your variety. For current varietal resistance ratings for your state refer to Cereal Disease Guides.
Stripe rust is a difficult disease to predict, and the app takes into account that it is highly influenced by seasonal conditions. StripeRustWM will give growers and consultants more confidence in decisions about whether to invest in spraying for the disease. The App is to be continually updated to reflect new experimental results as they become available.
