An Internet based climatological model is being developed for predicting the distribution of invasive plant pests. The work is a cooperative project between USDA-APHIS, North Carolina State University and a commercial weather provider, ZedX, Inc. The model will be used by USDA-APHIS to assist in making regulatory decisions regarding invasive plant pests. The model will be used by NCSU to assist farmers in implementing efficacious plant pest control programs.
