Fig. 1. Example of the protected website accessible by authorized specialists for pest data entry and reporting from monitoring of targeted legume crops for specific pests and diseases. Red indicates that the pest or disease was detected and confirmed, while green indicates that the Sentinel Plot site or commercial production area was scouted with no visible evidence or laboratory confirmation of the pest or disease. Sites are monitored periodically (weekly to monthly), depending on the resources and sampling protocol developed by specialists for each legume crop pest and disease. The net outcome is that specialists provide location-specific real-time data indicating the evolution of diseases and pests as the growing season progresses.
