A number of existing forecasting and decision support systems (EHS) which are important for arable farming practice must urgently be adapted and validated to the dynamic development of host-pathogen relationships in order to ensure their suitability for practical use. In order to adapt the models, it is necessary to collect comparative data on epidemiology by research and intensive assessments as well as under consideration of the environmental conditions relevant for the development of pests in various regions of Germany. This requires close cooperation with the Plant Protection Services of the States (PSD) and the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI). The collection of these comparative data is necessary over a period of at least five years in order to obtain representative infestation data for different weather patterns in the important arable farming regions of Germany. Model objectives (such as prognosis of the first occurrence of the pest, simulation of the disease progress, decision on control measures specific to the field situation and its effect on the further disease progress) must be taken into account.
