fruitweb Forecast Models

Since 2008, fruitweb GmbH has been offering forecast models for important diseases and pests in fruit growing. These are based on weather data, which ideally are measured directly in the orchard or polytunnel, and serve fruit growers as an important decision-making aid for upcoming control and plant protection measures. Each forecast model can be used with two different weather forecasts: meteoblue and yr.no. The weather forecasts can also be edited individually. From the 2024 season we will offer two different packages. One for pome and stone fruit and one for soft fruit. Below you will find an overview of the available forecast models with further explanations.
