NEWA Vegetable Tools
Enhance your integrated pest management (IPM) and crop decision-making with NEWA’s forecast tools.
Manage Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora beticola) in table beet with this tool that predicts 2-day, 14-day, 21-day, and season-long infection risk.
Use base 40°F BE degree days to identify the critical treatment timing before cabbage maggot (Delia radicum) can infest your crucifer crops. Treatment guidelines include organic options.
These risk assessment tools forecast the infection potential for Botrytis leaf blight or blast (Botrytis squamosa), onion downy mildew (Peronospora destructor), and purple blotch (Alternaria porri).
Monitor base 40°F BE daily and accumulated degree days to track critical treatment timing for onion maggot (Delia antiqua) to protect your crop from this pest.
(Legacy resource) Ascertain infection risk using P-days for early blight (Alternaria solani) and Blitecast for late blight (Phytophthora infestans) to assess the need for targeted management.
(Legacy resource) Manage tomato diseases more effectively using TOMCAST for early blight (Alternaria solani), Septoria leaf spot (Septoria lycopersici), and anthracnose (Colletotrichum coccodes) and using Blitecast for late blight (Phytophthora infestans) to identify infection risk.
