“…In the top-down approach to IPM-DSS typology development, the purpose, objectives, and end users of DSSs were considered, as well as the spatial and temporal constraints on their use. To avoid biases in the structure of the typology (e.g., individual preferences and characteristics from IPM DSS developers favouring their DSS), this step was based on our own experience and the extensive review of available literature on the development of agroecological DSSs [14,17,19,25,27,29,30,38,48,50,[53][54][55][56][57]. In addition, the literature review also indirectly represented the users of IPM DSSs, as the characteristics and features that users want and need are described [19,27,29,30,58,59].…”

“…Taechatanasat and Armstrong [37] reviewed DSSs in terms of data requirements. Extensive reviews of IPM DSSs were made by Damos [20] and Tonle et al [38], each describing more than 20 DSSs, but the set of DSS features described in both reviews is rather limited due to the different aims of the reviews. The EuroBlight website [39] contains a similar brief description of some DSSs available in Europe for the control of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and early blight (Alternaria solani) in potatoes.…”

Decision support systems (DSSs) enable the optimisation of pesticide application timing to increase pesticide efficacy and thus reduce pesticide use without compromising yield quality and quantity. Limited access to information about available DSSs for use in integrated pest management (IPM) is a major barrier to the uptake of DSSs for IPM across Europe. To overcome this barrier, a typology for DSSs for IPM in Europe was developed, introducing a systematic approach to describe the ever-growing number of DSSs for IPM. The developed IPM-DSS typology was implemented in the free web tool “IPM Adviser”, where currently 79 IPM DSSs are described with over 50 attributes describing their structural and performance characteristics. The information about IPM DSSs, which was previously scattered on different websites and difficult to compare, is now standardised and presented in a uniform way, so that it is possible to compare different IPM DSSs on the basis of all the attributes described. The presented IPM-DSS typology implemented in the web tool IPM Adviser facilitates the dissemination and uptake of DSSs for IPM and thus contributes to the achievement of the EU targets for the sustainable use of pesticides.
