What is DAS?
A collaborative project between WSU Extension and the WSU Agricultural Research Center, as well as the University of Idaho.
The WSU-Potato DAS is a web-based platform designed to transfer time-sensitive information to decision makers in the potato industry.

It also runs models for some insect pests to estimate the current status of the issue and provides links to appropriate management and pesticide considerations.
