Popis: A simple method for reducing the uncertainty intervals of models describing the maturation of Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) Wint ascospores is described. The number of trapped ascospores related to the current accumulated degree days of the season, and the confidence interval predicted with the historical ascospore release datasets, were used to re-calculate the confidence interval for the ascospore proportion for the rest of the season. The historical uncertainty in ascospore proportion was described with logistic functions fitted to upper and lower confidence limits of the mean of fitted values for several years of ascospore release data. The re-calculated confidence interval was derived by the determination of the total number of ascospores that would be trapped during the season, if the current day cumulative release were at either the upper or lower confidence limit of the historical data. The method was examined by applying three models of ascospore maturation and using ascospore trap and weat...
