Abstract
As stated by Fry (1982) in his recent text, use of disease management techniques “when they are not needed is inefficient at best because their use results in unneeded cost to growers, consumers, and perhaps to the environment.” One approach for determining when or if to apply disease control techniques is the use for forecasting systems. The intensive development and use of plant disease forecasters is a relatively new and exciting application of epidemiology.
