Early Blight pressure — Potato
Tracks cumulative GDD from emergence against canopy humidity and temperature differentials. Fires when conditions align with early Blight infection windows — typically 5–7 days before symptoms are visible.
Alert fired: "Early Blight conditions present in Block 3A. Scout within 48 hours. Fungicide window opens Thursday."
Wireworm emergence — Corn
Soil temperature accumulation at root zone depth triggers emergence risk thresholds. Model accounts for planting date and seed treatment type to assess whether in-furrow protection remains active or has degraded.
Alert fired: "Soil GDD threshold crossed. Wireworm emergence risk elevated in Fields 4–6. In-furrow treatment likely expired."
Irrigation trigger — Onion
Combines root zone moisture deficit with evapotranspiration demand (calculated from weather) and crop growth stage (tracked via GDD). Fires irrigation recommendations calibrated to onion bulbing vs. early vegetative requirements.
Alert fired: "ET demand exceeds soil supply by 0.4 in/day in Blocks 1–3. Irrigate within 18 hours — bulbing stage critical."
Botrytis spray window — Grape
Tracks phenological stage via GDD accumulation from budbreak, then monitors wind speed and canopy humidity during flowering and fruit set. Identifies optimal spray application windows before infection takes hold.
Alert fired: "Botrytis risk elevated at flowering. Low wind and high humidity forecast. Optimal spray window: tomorrow 6–10 AM."

Seed treatment efficacy tracking
Monitors soil temperature and moisture conditions against known efficacy curves for specific seed treatments. Flags when soil conditions have degraded treatment activity — allowing timely intervention before seedling protection is lost.
Alert fired: "Soil conditions indicate fungicide seed treatment degraded in Fields 2 & 5. Consider rescue treatment if emergence incomplete."
Harvest timing — Potato
Tracks vine kill and dry-down via GDD accumulation and soil moisture trend. Model predicts the window when tuber skin set is complete and soil moisture is optimal for harvest — minimising bruising, disease risk, and storage losses.
Alert fired: "Skin set complete. Soil moisture entering optimal harvest range in 3–5 days. Schedule harvest equipment."
