Introduction
Warwick-HRI (formerly Horticulture Research International) provides mathematical models that give valuable support to decision makers in commercial horticulture. These models include predictors for risks of pest or disease attack, advice on nutrition requirements and help with predicting crop spacing and maturity.
Many of these models require meteorological data – current, historic and forecast- to make good predictions. MORPH provides a way of attaching any source of data to any model. It then runs the model to produce predictions in the form of graphs or tables.
MORPH has been used for several years by the industry.
For the latest list and versions of the software models and documentation for MORPH visit the MORPH website www.warwick.ac.uk/go/morph or contact Morph.Support@warwick.ac.uk
