Abstract
The pest monitoring in the agrarian and forestal production area is of a very great importance for the success of the interventions in the control strategies. Recently the big impulse given by the development and use of the Geographical Information Systems has made possible the management and the analysis of a large quantity of monitoring data like the spatio-temporal ones on the variation of the pest population abundance. The management of the monitored information assumes a more important role in giving a really specific valuation of further informative internal information data. Such instruments are today a valid support too in the management of the phytoiatric problems in the crops and forests. The methodologies applied to the phytosanitary management can be integrated with the WebGIS and implemented with other WebGIS present in the Mediterranean area in order to have wider and more detailed information to be utilized by public and private organizations. GIS applications in the forestry context in Calabria (South Italy) have permitted the comprehension of the real and potential distribution of the pine processionary, the Traumatocampa pityocampa (Den. & Schiff.) (Fam. Thaumetopoeidae) a typical pest species of the Pinus genus. In the last three years, the identification of sites and their mapping area of formation of chrysalids on soil provided responses to the relationship that the moth contracts with natural control factors at the chrysalids stage. The GIS technology has been applied with a success in the study of the dynamic distribution of adult Buprestidae beetle Capnodis tenebrionis (L.) on some prunoidae (apricot, cherry, peach, etc.). GIS technology has also provided fundamental information about the distribution of the mortality of citrus trees in another Calabrian locality (Gioia Tauro - RC) following the attacks of voles (Microtus savi de Selys Longchamps). The dynamics of the evolution of symptoms on the plants was analyzed according to the symptoms found in systematic sampling data in the monitored information regularly spatialized.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
