Abstract/Contents: | Insects commonly cause their most severe damage when they occur unexpectedly. The availability of reliable computerized weather stations and intuitive model programs can assist in forecasting insect occurrence. This information is useful for predicting if an insect occurrence is going to happen earlier or later than normal. The use of such a system on golf courses in coastal North Carolina for mole cricket management has been a great asset for superintendents in this area. Includes: Insect modelling, "Intuitive modelling" defined, Monitoring equipment and services, "Intuitive modelling" in action and "Degree day" modelling. |
