DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR AIDING IN PEST MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
First Claim
1. A computer device adapted for interaction with a user and configured to provide pest management information used in pest management decision-making related to implementation of pest control measures for a crop of interest, the computer device comprising:
- a processing portion for receiving from a user a first and second pest input value associated with a respective first and second pest population, the first and second pest input values corresponding to pest sampling data associated with the respective first and second pest population for a site-specific crop of interest;
a processing portion for determining a multiple-pest economic threshold value associated with the site-specific crop of interest from the first and second pest input values;
a processing portion for determining a predicted return on investment value from the multiple-pest economic threshold value, the predicted return on investment value being indicative of the return on investment associated with use of a pest control strategy for the site-specific crop of interest; and
a processing portion for providing an indicia of the predicted return on investment value, so as to provide pest management information to the user for aiding in pest management decisions.

Abstract
A computer device is provided for implementing a system configured to provide pest management information used in pest management decision-making related to a site-specific crop of interest. The computer device receives a pest input value for each of a plurality of pest populations. The pest input values correspond to pest sampling data associated with the pest populations for the site-specific crop. The computer device further determines a multiple-pest economic threshold value associated with the site-specific crop from the pest input values. The computer device further determines a predicted investment cost value from the multiple-pest economic threshold value, wherein the predicted investment cost is indicative of the return on investment associated with use of a pest control strategy for the site-specific crop. The computer device further provides an indicia of the predicted investment cost value according to the pest input values. Associated systems and methods are also provided.
