Welcome to NAPPFAST!
The
NCSU/APHIS Plant Pest Forecast (NAPPFAST) System is an internet tool for plant
pest modeling using georeferenced climatological weather data. The system is a
joint venture between the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
North Carolina State University (NCSU) and the information technology company
ZedX, Inc. The NAPPFAST System is designed to support the predictive pest
mapping needs of the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) program and
the risk assessment activities of the Pest Epidemiology Risk Assessment
Laboratory (PERAL). The development of NAPPFAST is sponsored by the CAPS
program. You can read more in the
Journal article from Plant
Disease or in our latest annual
report.
If you would like to see risk maps for the CAPS top 50/150 pests please click here.
To see prediction maps for targeting surveys please go to NAPPFAST MAPVIEW, please click here. Please follow the
instructions for logging in.
If
you are an APHIS employee or a CAPS cooperator and would like to use NAPPFAST to
create risk maps then you will need a username and password. Please contact us below. We are also happy to work with other parties
involved in pest risk mapping. There is user manual online as well as a simplified cheat sheet.
Since there is a learning curve associated with the use of the program
to create models, we will be happy to assist you by making a risk map or
model for you. We also have a climate
matching program that can create a risk map from lat/long coordinates.
Please
let us know if you need any additional information or have modeling requests
for pests you don't see listed. We are
more than happy to assist the CAPS program in anyway we can.
