Facilitate the IPM decision Sample Clauses

Facilitate the IPM decision making process. The new spray guide design was developed and implemented into DAS in March 2013 to help users choose pesticides for efficacy and minimal ton-target impacts. A brief survey of our DAS beta-user group in February 2012 about the DAS spray guide’s usefulness yielded suggestions for minor layout changes that have been incorporated. In the new DAS upgrade, users get direct access to the spray guide through the main navigation menu on top of the web page (without needing to go through the model output first), even when they are not logged in. This allows users to access information faster. The new spray guide layout displays recommended pesticide options as cards initially showing only the efficacy on other pests and the effects on natural enemies. These cards can be sorted by pesticide efficacy and natural enemy effects. Users can select pesticide cards of interest for a more detailed comparison where all pesticide information is displayed. In addition, filter functions were created that augment comparisons between pesticides for efficacy and non-target impacts. The DAS user survey conducted in 2013/2014 indicated that 234 out of 332 survey respondents used the new spray guide filters; 44 respondents said they did not need or want to use them, while 54 were not aware of this feature. The internal DAS tracking system counted more than a 1,600 uses (clicks) of the efficacy filter in 2013-2014. The updated help video on how to use the new spray guide was watched 37 times in 2013-2014. Out of 324 respondents 240 indicated that they used the upgraded spray guide with 71% finding it useful and 59% saying it is easy or very easy to use. The majority of respondents indicated that the upgraded pesticide effects and added maximum residue level information were useful (64% and 61%, respectively). The proportion of users that DAS helps to a “very great extent” in choosing pesticides for best efficacy rose from 15% (15 respondents) in the 2010 survey to 26% (60 respondents) in 2013/2014. The proportion of users that say DAS helps to a “very great extent” in choosing pesticides to reduce natural enemy mortality rose from 11% (11 respondents) in 2010 to 28% (66 respondents) in 2013/2014. The orchard management system (OMS) was designed to allow users to define multiple orchards and orchard blocks. To this point, users can then enter and view orchard-specific information, such as trap locations, trap catch and notes, from their mobile device with Internet access...

Facilitate the IPM decision making process. The WSU Spray Guide on DAS was redesigned and improved to facilitate pesticide choice based on efficacy and low side effects on natural enemies. The new design allows users to compare all recommended pesticides (for a particular crop, target pest, and time of the year) with regards to pesticide efficacy and non-target effects. This tool is now more easily accessible and more useful. Consequently, it has been accessed by more users and more frequently. Users have been using the improved filters in the spray guide more often than before, when most users had not been aware of those features. Surveyed DAS users responded that they find the spray guide improvements useful and the percentage of users finding the pesticide efficacy and side effects information helpful has increased.

Facilitate the IPM decision making process. The new DAS spray guide filters are used by 234 (70%) of the surveyed users, as indicated in the recent 2013/2014 DAS user survey. Our baseline was 80 users (55%) using the spray filters according to the 2010 DAS user survey. The target set for this project of a total of 130 users using the spray guide filters was exceeded. Moreover, not only did more users filter spray guide results more frequently (>1,600 hits), but they also report this feature to be useful (71%) and easy to use (59%). As a result, the DAS spray guide helped more users to a “very great extend” in choosing pesticides with respect to efficacy and side effects (26-28%) than before in 2010 (11-15%).
