KW - Forecasting disease progress KW - Oidium heveae steinm KW - Rubber powdery mildew N2 - The disease progress rate is affected by inoculum level at rubber wintering, refoliation speed, temperature, relative humidity during 5;budbrust to 20;refoliation, forecasting models were developed based on these factors, the results of validation in different rubber growing areas on Human Island showed that the forecasting values of the models were rather identical with actual values, and the correlation coefficients were 0.8872-0.9732. The models were used to guide chemical control, the control efficiency was 9.1;higher than normal dusting schedule, 17.6 cost was reduced, and increased 11.4;benefit ER -
