PREDICTING THE PROBABILITY OF PEST ESTABLISHMENT BY COMPARING SOURCE AND DESTINATION ENVIRONMENTS by Dr. Erhard John Dobesberger, Plant Health Risk Assessment Unit, Ottawa, Canada K2H 8P9
Pest or Disease Progress Curve -1 Y = [1 + exp(-ß1 - ß2*X)]
Risk Curve HIGH LOW MEDIUM EXPECTED DAMAGE LEVEL (%)
CLIMATIC FACTORS • Temperature - minimum, maximum etc. • Moisture - rainfall, snow, relative humidity • Radiation - solar • Wind - wind speed • Pressure - vapour, atmospheric • evapotranspiration, daylength
Modelling Methodologies • Ecoclimatic zone comparison • Simple geographic mapping themes • multivariate – logistic models • process oriented models • expert systems - artificial intelligence • all of the above - integrated models

Benefits of Modelling • Internationally accepted sound scientific basis - standard prediction for massive data sets • Powerful, versatile forecasting and transparent decision-support tool • better communication of risk scenarios • stimulus for new research and understanding • should aid in superior phytosanitary resource allocation
