Provides an estimated time period of remaining copper residue on various citrus cultivars based on nearest weather station and crop, and used to inform copper application decisions.
Inputs
Closest weather station, scion, bloom date
Outputs
Simulation chart forecasting remaining copper residue
Restrictions and Limitations
The current model can be used to estimate summer copper residues but will not be as accurate as early season estimates. Summer copper residue predictions will be improved with the data generated by ongoing experiments in the next few year
Release Notes
Updated version of a previous copper residue model called the ‘DISC Copper Model’ that was originally designed to predict copper residues until mid-June.
