Summary
SclerotiniaCM uses a forecasting model to assist canola 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 recent and expected weather conditions so that the output relates to their own cropping circumstances.

SclerotiniaCM helps you manage Sclerotinia stem rot disease in Australia. SclerotiniaCM draws on several years of field trials and observations, as well as experimental data and expert knowledge from contributors throughout Australia to forecast the likely result and economic return of spraying for this problematic disease. SclerotiniaCM 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. Sclerotinia stem rot is an unpredictable disease and the app takes into account that it is highly influenced by seasonal conditions. SclerotiniaCM app 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.
