Geographical Approaches for Integrated Pest Management of Arthropods in Forestry and Row Crops

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Precision Crop Protection - the Challenge and Use of Heterogeneity

Abstract

With the proper technology and access to geographical information, it is more important to spend time developing an excellent classification scheme of a remotely sensed attribute of crop and forest vigor than to spend that time collecting multiple samples of insect counts . The ability to define zones from remote sensing images of crop or forest systems provides a vastly improved capacity to assess the sample variability of insect counts. Perspectives on defining zones from remote sensing information, including an examination of some relationships between these zones and insect sample counts, are discussed.
