3 The Rust Mite tool helps monitor the migration risk of rust mite (Calepitrimerus vitis) and blister mites (//Colomerus vitis//). The tool utilizes temperature data to predict activity, enabling users to time treatments effectively. This guide explains how to interpret and use the graphs to manage these vineyard pests.

5 == 1. Understanding the Risk Overview Table ==
6
7 === Purpose ===
8
9 The Risk Overview Table provides data on the potential migration of rust and blister mites. Key components include:
10
11 * **Date Row**: Grey-highlighted cells mark the forecast period.
12 * **Temperature Sum (Kelvin Days, Kd)**: Displays the accumulation of daily average temperatures starting from March 1.
13
14 === Key Thresholds ===
15
16 * **300 Kd (Yellow)**: Migration becomes possible.
17 * **Warm Days >10°C (Red)**: Signals active mite migration, making it the ideal time for treatment.

21 == 2. Interpreting the Graphs ==
22
23 The graphs cover a three-week period:
24
25 * **Two weeks of historical data**
26 * **The current day**
27 * **The forecast period**

32 **Risk and Temperature Data**
33
34 * **Temperature Sum Curve**: Displays the accumulated percentage of the threshold value. The curve resets to 0% when the calculation concludes.
35 * **Risk Bar**: Represents migration risk using colors corresponding to the thresholds described in the legend.
36 * **Migration Start Date**: Displayed on the graph if conditions for migration have been met.

38 1. (((
39 **Weather Data**
40
41 * Includes daily averages for:
42 ** Temperature
43 ** Precipitation
44 ** Humidity
45 ** Leaf wetness is shown in blue at the bottom.

47 1. (((
48 **Model Parameters**
49
50 * The background of the temperature sum curve is overlaid with grey bars representing accumulated daily average temperatures.
51 * The graph indicates when migration conditions were first met.

56 == 3. Practical Application ==
57
58 To use the graphs effectively:
59
60 1. **Monitor Temperature Sums**: Track when the 300 Kd threshold is reached and warm days (>10°C) occur.
61 1. **Plan Treatments**: Schedule treatments during active migration (red-marked days) for maximum effectiveness.
62 1. **Analyze Weather Data**: Assess environmental conditions to determine their impact on mite activity.
