· One objective of the EUCLID program is to propose existing or innovative integrated pest management strategies to the stakeholder community of the bio-control.

· EUCLID_DSS was developed to promote sharing and use of these strategies. EUCLID_DSS is free.

· EUCLID_DSS is implemented by some strategies of protection for tomato crops under greenhouses. Because DSS application is generic, other cropping systems can be taken into account. Application allows to use the decision rules contained in the DSS. Experts in this field will be able to create and validate new strategies.

· Advices for phytosanitary management against pests or diseases are generally provided according to attacks severity. The crop health state, as well as environmental factors, are evaluated using specific field indicators, by mean of regular samplings. Protocols can be shared on-line.

· Strategies of integrated protection are composed by decision rules for which using bio-control methods is a priority. Archiving of advices and phytosanitary actions allows to describe the crop protection history.

· Online surveys are made to collect information on existing protection strategies used in different cropping systems: sampling methods, crop health state indicators, protocols for phytosanitary actions. After validation, these strategies could be integrated to the DSS catalogue.


· EUCLID_SAMPLING_TOOLS, free of use, is complementary to the EUCLID DSS application. The user can set-up crop monitorings consistent with existing decision rule indicators or define fully customized sampling methods. Some examples are provided by the application.

· EUCLID_SAMPLING_TOOLS allows to record in a database, then administer, all the observations made on the field and the cropping history. This information can be edited and displayed in graphical form.
