Agrometeorological Web Reporting and Prognostic System of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Carpo is an Agrometeorological Web Reporting and Prognostic System developed by DRAXIS for the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and was funded by the UNDP.
The system is utilizing observations from the ministry’s network of agrometeorological stations, weather forecasts from numerical weather prediction systems and deterministic biological models to produce pest and disease forecasts for different crop types, that are cultivated in the country. Based on these forecasts the system is producing alerts and notifications for the users, either farmers or agronomists, in order to take all the necessary actions to protect their crops.
Also, through the system, users have the ability to report a disease occurrence to Extension service adviser or to upload photos of affected crops and to improve models results by adjusting model parameters with real situation in their fields.
