Summary in English
A number of models for predicting disease progression, pest development and crop growth are described in the literature. However, only a few of the models are in wide use because the others are not very user friendly. The CIPRA system is a tool developed to permit broader use of these models and make them accessible to agricultural stakeholders such as advisors, agronomists, researchers and producers. It is the fruit of collaborative efforts by several institutions working to implement agriculture-related forecasting models for Quebec and Canada with real-time capability.
CIPRA is a user friendly software that allows the user to visualize forecasts of insect development or risk of disease and the phenology of certain crops. By using mathematical models with real-time weather data, CIPRA generates graphs permitting rapid estimates of the risk level for certain diseases, insect population development and the growth of given crops.
This guide was generated by the CIPRA software and it compiles all the information found in the Help menu. In this way, it is a work in progress and it will be updated with the latest models included in CIPRA on a regular basis.
