Summary
PowderyMildewMBM uses a forecasting model to assist mungbean 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.

PowderyMildewqMBM helps you manage powdery mildew disease in Australian mungbean crops. PowderyMildewMBM 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. PowderyMildewMBM 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. Powdery mildew is a difficult disease to predict, and the app takes into account that it is highly influenced by seasonal conditions. PowderyMildewMBM 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.
