In a simple and easily accessible way NemaDecide demonstrates the effect of cropping plan decisions on the population development of the various nematodes and the damage they cause in potato. NemaDecide enables the user to determine the optimum crop choice and optimum cultivar choice for a field, for the current cropping system as well as for several subsequent crop rotations.
