Abstract
Core Ideas Composite risk management is important to peanut growers. Management strategies for pests need to be harmonized for peanut. Computer decision support systems can facilitate planning for pest management in peanut. A web‐based decision support system was created to assist peanut (Arachis hypogaea L) growers in Virginia and North Carolina with pre‐season risk assessment and pest management decision‐making. The decision support system was created to help growers and their advisers assess the potential impact of competing and/or supportive management strategies on multiple pest species. Individual risk indices were created for five diseases, two arthropods, and three nematodes based on results of published research studies, as well as many years of research and extension experience. The decision support system also includes categories associated with overall risk for the 10 pests and total cost of overall management.
