The new method can reduce the use of pesticides, which are high cost and cause environmental damage, HUJI added. The tool was developed in a study published in the journal Ecological Modeling, by researchers from HUJI and the MIGAL Galilee Research Institute in northern Israel. Based on meteorological data,...
