Growing Produce released a story on AgroClimate’s s\Strawberry Advisory System, a tool which is available at https://agroclimate.org/tools/strawberry/.  The tool takes data such as temperature and leaf wetness and tells growers when to spray fungicide to ward off diseases.  By spraying fungicide only when needed, it can save growers significant amounts of time and money by reducing unnecessary applications.  To read the complete story, click here.  For now this tool is only available for central Florida.
