PROCEM Program of Control and Eradication of Fruit Flies Applications of GIS (Geographical Information System) MENDOZA ARGENTINA
Medfly Campaigns 1990 to 1992 Objective: Diagnosis Activity: Trapping Number of traps: 1527
First attempts in the use of geographic coordinates Use of cartographical maps Use of graph generators
Medfly Campaigns 1992 to 2001 Objective: Eradication Activities: Monitoring Trapping Fruit sampling Control SIT Chemical Control Cultural control

Geographic Information System (G.I.S) GIS technology is aimed to understand facts which occur on earth using digital images on a computer
Geographic Information System (GIS) EACH DATA POINT IS AN ELEMENT SET UP IN THE SPACE THROUGH A PREDEFINED SYSTEM OF COORDINATES
IMPLEMENTATION • . Rearrangement of existing data bases and set up of new ones • . Election of a system of geographic projection • . Compilation and generation of cartography and digital images • . Election of a GIS system. • . Generation of program rutines to link the different data bases
APLICATIONS FRUIT SAMPLING TRAPPING HOST CENSUS. CHEMICAL AND CULTURAL CONTROL SIT
TRAPPING . Exact location of each trap . Spatial distribution in routes . Dispersion of fly catches . Additional information on individual traps
FRUIT SAMPLING . Coverage and distribution of fruit sampling . Exact place of each sampled location . Additional information of each fruit sample
CENSUS . Host distribution . Location and quantity of each species . Planification and coverage of Chemical and Cultural Control
SIT . Planification of the areas to be released . Control of plane releases . Information about each flight . Analysis of the sterile insect dispersal
Aerial releases Area under SIT: 160,000 ha Strain: TSL Sterile males released per week: 80.000.000 Density : 400- 800 males/ha Type of release: aerial in paper bags Flies per bag: 2,600 males Bags per week: 38,500 Number of blocks: 36 Area of each block: 4,000 – 4,500 ha Frequency: - weekly in 17 blocks - twice a week in 19 urban blocks Airports under operation: 4 Planes under operation: Cessna 172, Cessna 182 Capacity of planes: 700 bags (1,820,000 males) Weekly flights: 55 Average time of each flight: 50 minutes Weekly flight hours: 45 Total flight hours: 2000 Flight conditions: - Altitude: 1.000 feet - Mean speed: 100 miles/hour - Distance between bands: 300 m - Frequency between bags: 4-5 seconds
GIS IS AN EFFICIENT TOOL . For Administration . For Analysis . For Interpretation . For Diagnosis . For Planification . For Execution . For Control Useful on any program of pest control
