Borlaug Fellow Development project

Shew, Barbara B

Description:

The primary objective of the project was to adapt a peanut Decision Support System currently in use in North Carolina for use by peanut (groundnut) growers in India. The NC DSS helps growers to identity their risk of pest problems based on field history and characteristics, rotation and other cultural practices, cultivar choice, and selection of pesticides. Farmers can then make informed choices about appropriate practices based on their situation and tolerance for risk.
