VICE-Corn is a computerized expert system that recommends insect pest management strategies in Virginia corn production systems. This knowledge-based advisory system generates risks and provides recommendations based on the fields's history, conditions, farm management practices, and locality.

This System is currently under development. Recommendations and pest risk determinations continue to be tested.
