information.

1. Introduction

4

2. Pest Surveillance

O Refers to the constant watch on the population dynamics

of pests, its incidence and damage on each crop at fixed

intervals to forewarn the farmers to take up timely crop

protection measures.

5

Three basic components of pest surveillance are

O Determination of

a. the level of incidence of the pest species

b. the loss caused by the incidence

c. the economic benefits, the control will provide.

6

Objectives of Pest Surveillance

O to know existing and new pest species

O to assess pest population and damage at different

growth stage of crop

O to study the influence of weather parameters on

pest

O to study changing pest status (minor to major)

O to assess natural enemies and their influence on

pests

O effect of new cropping pattern and varieties on pest

7

SurveyAn official procedure conducted over a

defined period of time to determine thecharacteristics of a pest population or todetermine which pest species occur in an area(ISPM No. 5)

8

Roving survey

O Assessment of pest population/damage from randomly selected spots representing larger area.

O Provides information on pest level over large area.

O Large area surveyed in short period

9

Fixed plot survey

O Assessment of pest population/damage from a fixed plot selected in a

field.

O The data on pest population/damage recorded periodic from sowing

till harvest. e.g. plots randomly selected from in

of crop area in case of

From each plot 10 plant selected at random.

O Total tillers and tillers affected - in these 10 plants counted.

O Total leaves and number affected - ( % damaged leaves).

O Population of - number/tiller.

10

Other types of survey

O Qualitative survey - Useful for detection of pest

O Quantitative survey - Useful for enumeration of pest

According to ISPM definitions, O detection,O monitoring O delimiting surveys.

11

Pest Survey Sites

O Reported presence and distribution of the pest.

O Biology of the pest. O Distribution of host plants of the pest and

especially of their areas of commercial production.

O Climatic suitability of sites for the pest.

12

Timing of survey procedures may be determined by:

• Life cycle • Phenology of the pest and its hosts • Pest management programmes • Whether the pest is best detected on crops in

active growth or in the harvested crop.

13

Sampling Techniques

O Absolute sampling - To count all the pests

occurring in a plot

O Relative sampling - To measure pest in terms

of some values which can be compared over

time and space e.g. Light trap catch,

Pheromone trap

14

O Methods of sampling

a. In situ counts - Visual observation on number of insects

on plant canopy (either entire plot or randomly selected plot)

b. Knock down - Collecting insects from an area by

removing from crop and (Sudden trap) counting (Jarring)

c. Netting - Use of sweep net for hoppers, odonates,

grasshoppers.

d. Norcotised collection - Quick moving insects

anaesthesised and counted

15

e. Trapping - Light trap - Phototropic insects

O Pheromone trap - Species specific

O Sticky trap - Sucking insects

O Bait trap - Sorghum shootfly - Fishmeal trap

O Emergence trap - For soil insects

f. Crop samples

Plant parts removed and pest counted

e.g. Bollworms

History of Remote Sensing

22

History of Remote Sensing

O first meteorological satellite was launched by US on 1st

April, 1960 for weather forecast, movement of hurricanes

and other associated uses. It was named as earth resources

technology satellite (ERTS) – well suited for agricultural

responses.

O These satellites are now referred to as LAND SAT.

O First remote sensing satellite in India was launched in 1988,

named as IRS(Indian Remote Sensing).

Types of REMOTE SENSINGActive Remote Sensing

Passive Remote Sensing

27

Types of Remote Sensing Platforms

O field-based (ground based),

O mounted on aircraft(airborne)

O satellites (space borne).

28

Ground based

O Spectroradiometry is the technique of measuring the

spectrum of radiation emitted by a source.

O In order to do this the radiation must be separated

into its component wavebands and each band

measured separately.

O It is achieved by diffraction grating technique

within the spectroradiometers to split the radiation

entering the system into its constituent wavebands.

O A suitable detector is then used to quantify the

radiation of each wavelength (ASD 1999 ) .

29

31

Concept

Stresses interferes with photosynthesis

and physical structure of the plant (Hatfield and

Pinter, 1993).

O causes changes in pigment, chemical

concentrations, cell structure, nutrient, water

uptake, and gas exchange. (Raikes and Burpee

1998).

35

• Downward or sideward looking sensors are mounted on an

aircraft to obtain images of the earth's surface.

• It has the capability of offering very high spatial resolution

images.

• But low coverage area and high cost per unit area of ground

coverage.

• It is not cost-effective to map a large area using an airborne

remote sensing system.

• Airborne remote sensing missions are often carried out as

one-time operations, whereas earth observation satellites offer

the possibility of continuous monitoring of the earth.

AIRBORNE REMOTE SENSING

37

Spaceborne remote sensingO In spaceborne remote sensing, sensors are

mounted on-board a spacecraft (space shuttle

or satellite) orbiting the earth.

O The geostationary orbits are commonly used

by meterological satellites.

O Located at a high altitude of 36,000 km.

38

Spaceborne remote sensing provides the

following advantages:O Large area coverage.

O Frequent and repetitive coverage of an area of

interest.

O Quantitative measurement of ground features using

radiometrically calibrated sensors.

O Semiautomated computerised processing and

analysis.

O Relatively lower cost per unit area of coverage.

39

Optical/thermal imaging systems can be classified

according to the number of spectral bands used:

O Monospectral or panchromatic (single wavelength

band, "black-and-white", grey-scale image) systems

O Multispectral (several spectral bands) systems

O Superspectral (tens of spectral bands) systems

O Hyperspectral (hundreds of spectral bands) systems

40

41

• A hyperspectral image consists of about a hundred or

more contiguous spectral bands.

• Applications in fields such as precision agriculture

(e.g. monitoring the types, health, moisture status

and maturity of crops), coastal management (e.g.

monitoring of phytoplanktons, pollution).

• Currently, hyperspectral imagery is not commercially

available from satellites.

• There are experimental satellite-sensors that acquire

hyperspectral imagery for scientific investigation

(e.g. NASA's Hyperion sensor on-board the EO1

satellite, CHRIS sensor on board ESA's PRABO

satellite).

HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE

42

Multispectral Images

• A multispectral imagery consists of several bands of

data. For visual display, each band of the image may be

displayed one band at a time as a grey scale image, or in

combination of three bands at a time as a colour

composite image.

• Interpretation of a multispectral colour composite image

will require the knowledge of the spectral reflectance of

the targets in the scene.

DISADVANTAGES OF REMOTE SENSING

Expensive to build and operate!!!!

Measurement uncertainty can be large

Data interpretation can be difficult

need to understand theoretically how the instrument is

making the measurements

need to understand measurement uncertainties

need to have some knowledge of the phenomena you

are sampling

45

GEOGRAPHIC implies that locations of the data items are known, or can be calculated, in terms of Geographic

coordinates (Latitude, Longitude)

INFORMATION implies that the data in a GIS are organized to yield useful knowledge, often as coloured maps

and images, but also as statistical graphics, tables, and various on-screen responses to interactive queries.

SYSTEM implies that a GIS is made up from several inter-related and linked components with different functions.

Thus, GIS have functional capabilities for data capture, input, manipulation, transformation, visualization, combinations,

query, analysis, modelling and output.

WHAT IS A GIS ?

46

3. GIS

O Geographic Information System

O A GIS is a computer system capable of capturing,

storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically

referenced information; that is, data identified according

to location.

O Practitioners also define a GIS as including the

procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go

into the system.

• Monitoring is backbone of IPM. Farmer must keep continuous vigilance on pest activity on crops.

• Monitoring helps in issuing forewarning and facilitates proper timing of plant protection measures thereby preventing avoidable losses and environmental contamination, and ensuring favourable benefit-cost.

• Remote sensing technique is very useful, less time consuming and cost effective tool for suggesting action plans /management strategies for agricultural sustainability of any region.

77

• Remotely sensed images can be used to identify nutrient deficiencies, diseases, water deficiency or surplus, weed infestations, insect damage, hail damage, wind damage, herbicide damage, and plant populations

• GIS is considered one of the important tools for decision making in problem solving environment dealing with geo-information.
