VitiMeteo-Plasmopara is an expert system to forecast the biological development of downy mildew using relevant weather data. It has been developed jointly by Agroscope Changins- Wädenswil ACW and the Weinbauinstitut of Freiburg in Breisgau. It is currently used over all vineyards of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and parts of northern Italy. Model validation for nine years in Changins (VD) has shown its reliability. The model allows to better control downy mildew and to decrease the number of fungicide applications.
