DSV stands for Disease Severity Value. Disease severity values are based on various combinations of the number of hours (in a given time period) with a relative humidity of 80% or greater and the average temperature during this period. They are used to predict when conditions are most favorable for disease initiation. For more information see the Explanations page.
