3.3 | 1 | == Overview == |
| 2 | |||
| 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. | ||
| 18 | |||

| 20 | |||
| 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** | ||

| 31 | 1. ((( | ||
| 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. | ||
| 37 | ))) | ||
| 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. | ||
| 46 | ))) | ||
| 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. |
