MoreCrop 2.0 is the 1999 release of the expert system for
wheat disease management for the Pacific Northwest. New features
included are enhancement in the crop managerial selections, improvement
on data management for cultivars, high flexibility in changing
the use of fungicides, an increase in the number of possible
diseases, and the incorporation of high resolution images of
diseases.
New wheat classes and new cultivars are included in the program.
A powerful database is infused to hold cultivar information.
Data on cultivar characteristics can be easily updated, and an
infinite number of cultivars can be included in the program.
Update of cultivar information can be done within the MoreCrop
system, and inclusion or deletion of cultivars can easily be
done.
The pattern for use of fungicides has been made flexible by
allowing users to define or redefine the spectrum of fungicide
efficacy and the timing of fungicide applications. Label restrictions
on any fungicide can also be modified. Newly registered fungicides
or fungicides with an emergency label can be included in the
customized disease control program.
The crop rotation section has been enhanced by adding specific
rotational options. Planting dates have been linked to calendar
dates, and a planting depth option is included. The disease outcome
has been expanded to include 30 diseases (previously there were
16 diseases). The disease control suggestion is also expanded
so that the inference engine could search from an array of more
than a billion possible disease combinations.
High resolution images of wheat diseases are included and
linked to every disease outcome. These images are easily available
with a click of a mouse. The same images are also available in
the library menu. |
