MoreCrop is an information technology system for managing
diseases of wheat in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The program
is referred to by the acronym MoreCrop (Managerial Options for
Reasonable Economical Control of Rusts and Other Pathogens) and
is designed to predict diseases and provide managerial options
in agronomic zones of the PNW. Wheat growers, extension agents,
consultants and other professionals involved in wheat production
can use MoreCrop as a decision support system. It is also a powerful
tool for research and teaching. The program contains up-to-date
information related to wheat cultivars and their characteristics,
agronomic zones, fungicide technical information, crop managerial
options and other subject matter relevant to wheat production
in the PNW.
MoreCrop can be used as an educational tool for understanding
the epidemiology and control of wheat diseases. Wheat growers
can use the program to build a crop managerial scenario, analyze
a predefined crop managerial scenario, and test a customized
disease control program. MoreCrop can be used as a training and
reference tool to solve real-time problems, and it can serve
as a prototype in developing a total crop managerial program
for wheat. |
