Collaborative project: Risk maps with GIS – a new approach for farmers and advisers in crop protection warning service in Germany – Subproject 2

Project


Project code: 2814203906
Contract period: 15.10.2007 - 15.04.2011
Budget: 404,431 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development

Englisch: The application of decision support systems (DSS) for the planning of pesticide applications has been improved. In this and two other projects, methods for GIS-based interpolation of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and global radiation were developed to be able to offer comprehensive results. Furthermore, regional factors such as crop density, crop rotation and others were interpolated and provided. Deterministic and geostatistical interpolation methods as well were used. In addition, COSMO-EU weather forecast data provided by the German Weather Service, were integrated in DSSs. The presentation of comprehensive results as daily risk maps was conceived in terms of meaningful classifications and expressive choice of colors. The interpretation of DSSs was greatly simplified. A high level of acceptance for the use of such DSS on the Internet (www.isip.de) is expected.
