Characteristics of the ROC curves obtained using weather data as predictors of discharge and peaks of Fusarium graminearum ascospores in North Italy in 2012 to 2014.

1 Tav, Tmin, Tmax = average, min, and max daily temperature; RHav, RHmin, RHmax = average, min, and max daily relative humidity; WDt = total wetness duration; RH90 = hours with RH > 90%; VPD = vapor pressure deficit; Rt = total rain.2 Ascospores were sampled with a volumetric spore sampler from the air above maize stalk residues bearing mature F. graminearum perithecia.3 Peaks are defined as days with ≥ 30 ascospores / m3 air.4 Area under the ROC curve.Characteristics of the ROC curves obtained using weather data as predictors of discharge and peaks of Fusarium graminearum ascospores in North Italy in 2012 to 2014.
