*Stevens-Boewe model to predict risk of Stewart’s Wilt-late leaf blight phase- Sum of mean monthly air tempera-tures for December, January and February : < 80ºF =trace; 80-85ºF=light, 85-90ºF= moderate;  >90ºF= severe

** Iowa State Model- to predict risk of Stewart’s disease- number of months (0-3) where mean monthly air temperature was above 24ºF (December, January and February) 0=negligible, 1 = low, 2= moderate/high, 3=high
