It operates on a field by field basis. From every wheat field, basic data and field observations are stored in a data bank. Farmers send their field observations to the central team, which enters them in the data bank. Field data are updated daily by means of simplified simulation models. Expected damage and loss are calculated and used in a decision system, that leads to one of three major decisions: «treat», «don't treat», or «make another field observation». Exchange of information between farmers and central team is by mail. In 1978 EPIPRE started with Puccinia striiformis. Since then the number of pests and diseases which are considered have increased, so that in 1981 advice was given for P. striiformis, P. recondita, Erysiphe graminis, Septoria spp. and the cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae, Metopolophium dirhodum and Rhopalosiphum padi. For each of these pests and diseases predictive methods have been developed using explanatory simulation models as a tool. These explanatory models are based on knowledge of many input relations and some external factors (e.g. temperature) which govern most of the processes of the pest and disease population dynamics. On the basis of a sensitivity analysis with these models simplified decision rulés have been developed which are used in the advice system in which updating of the forcing variables is no longer needed. aPest management aControle de doenças aDiseases in wheat aDoenças do trigo aEpidemic prevention aPeste no trigo aPrevenção de epidemias1 aRIJSDIJK, F.
