Further information on the thrips projection model

The model was developed in collaboration with Dr Len Coop of Oregon State University's Integrated Plant Protection Center (IPPC). The IPPC developed and hosts the USPEST web service which is a multi pest multi model tool that provides information on pest development and disease risk for the contiguous 48 US states using a network of weather stations.

Use the menu on the left side of the screen to see the current status and population development projections for each area.
