Field notes
The interface organizes pest timing by crop and signal, separating seasonal windows from infestation probability and directing users to confirm crop stage, insects, and fresh damage in the field. Its context layer combines near-term NWS weather with five prior years of heat-unit history, while the black cutworm section accepts a verified trap-flight date and cites an Iowa State model. At the displayed Omaha point, weather and historical panels were still retrieving data.
