Decision Systems

iWheat.org Decision Support System

The iWheat.org web application provided an effective platform to reach a wide range of interested parties including Extension agents, crop consultants, and wheat producers. It also provided the foundation for the multi-commodity site, myFields.info. The development of the iWheat site was part of a multi-state effort (USDA-Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Program) funded through the USDA that works to facilitate a long-term, area-wide management program for wheat in the Great Plains.

IPM of mite-vectored viruses

The goal of this multi-state project is to reduce losses from mite-vectored virus diseases (MVVD) of wheat by providing growers with new information and techniques for site-specific IPM. Current recommendations for disease management were developed in the 1960’s, but recent development of cultivars with genetic resistance to the vector and/or pathogen, and improved understanding of vector ecology and epidemiology, create opportunities to develop new IPM approaches.
