DCAP2 Horticulture Project
The products are EXPERIMENTAL ONLY and do NOT currently
form part of the Bureau's standard services in any way. Access to the products is made
available for trial purposes only and on the basis that users are fully aware that these products are

forecast products are subject to the Bureau's copyright and disclaimer. The following conditions
apply: Products are not official Bureau products, they are prototype products
Products are only to be used for trial purposes to assess their usefulness and not as an ongoing
service
Products are not operationally supported, they may occasionally be unavailable for periods of up to
2 weeks e.g., due system upgrades
The look and feel of products may change at any stage without notice
The DCAP2 product tools and website will cease 6 months after the end of the project
The pie chart and histogram forecast products delivered here have been developed as a result of funding
from the Queensland Drought and Climate Adaptation Program 2 - a Program designed to improve drought
preparedness and resilience for Queensland producers (
https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/environment/drought/dcap/about-dcap ). The project, entitled The
Use of Bureau of Meteorology Multi-Week and Seasonal Forecasts to Facilitate Improved Management
Decisions in Queensland’s Vegetable Industry, will trial forecast products for the
Lockyer Valley and the Granite Belt with producers to enhance farm management decision making in the
Queensland vegetable industry.
