Table from Madden L., Pennypacker, S. P., and McNab, A. A. 1978. FAST,
a forecast system for Alternaria solani on tomato. Phytopathology
68:1354-1358.
Disease severity values (DSV) are calculated as a function of hours of
leaf wetness and average air temperature during leaf wetness. The DSV
is based on the FAST early blight model of tomato. After treatment, the
DSV accumulations reset to zero.
