The IPM (Intergrated Pest Management) Apple Disease Product, uses individual pest models to
simulate and predict several parameters for a potential disease threat. These include
Accumulated Wetness (AW) and Temperature (TW) of the potential threat. Also provided is
a "pest window" (PW) which represents conditions associated with a particular disease
development. Disease incidence is rated first by a "watch" indicated with a single plus sign (+).
A watch is an indication that disease conditions are imminent. As the intensity and duration of
the conditions increase, a "warning" is indicated with two plus signs (++). An inactive
condition is indicated by a negative sign (-).
