Central Institution for Decision Support Systems in Crop Protection (ZEPP)
The mission of ZEPP is to collect and examine existing predictive and simulation models for important agricultural and horticultural pests and diseases and to develop these models for practical use. More over, it initiates the development of predictive models for further pests and diseases not yet considered.
