Background:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Washington tree crops is increasingly complex due to pesticide changes and new control tactics.
Growers require continuous access to a single, verified information source for time-sensitive management decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an integrated decision support system (DSS) for Washington tree fruit growers.
To provide a centralized platform for accessing critical pest and disease management information.

Main Methods:

The DSS integrates environmental data from 140 WSU stations and NOAA forecasts.
It incorporates predictive models for ten insects, four diseases, and horticultural factors.
A pesticide database with non-target impact information is included.

Main Results:

The system provides management recommendations based on model outputs.
A 2008 user survey indicated widespread adoption, covering most of the state's orchards and acreage.
Estimated annual value of the system to users was $16 million.

Conclusions:

The DSS design supports education on time-sensitive agricultural topics.
The system is adaptable for future integration of new models, recommendations, and sensor data.
