This wheat disease app is designed for use by arable farmers and agronomists in England and gives information about the status and development of four key wheat foliar diseases. It complements the CropMonitor website by giving you up to date information on the disease status and risk of development at the CropMonitor trial monitoring sites across England. It also gives you a quick risk assessment of these diseases within your own area using the trial site data closest to you and predicting the diseases development based on the next 72hrs weather forecast for your area.
