  1. PROCEM Program of Control and Eradication of Fruit Flies Applications of GIS (Geographical Information System) MENDOZA ARGENTINA

  2. Medfly Campaigns 1990 to 1992 Objective: Diagnosis Activity: Trapping Number of traps: 1527

  3. First attempts in the use of geographic coordinates Use of cartographical maps Use of graph generators

  4. Medfly Campaigns 1992 to 2001 Objective: Eradication Activities: Monitoring Trapping Fruit sampling Control SIT Chemical Control Cultural control

  5. FRUIT SAMPLING North Oasis: 18,891 East Oasis: 11,283 Central Oasis: 6,810 South Oasis: 15,099 TOTAL : 52,173 SIT CONTROL Total mumber of male medfly realeased: 4.591 bilions. Weekly average (Under release period): 104 milions Aerial release:90% of the area. Land release 10% of the area. Distribution: Over preestablished blocks on the North, East and South Oasis. In the Central Oasis: preventive releases on urban areas CHEMICAL AND CULTURAL CONTROL F.T.D RURAL AREAS OASIS FTD NORTH 0,00397 EAST 0,00207 CENTRAL 0,00010 SOUTH 0,00074 PROCEM - MENDOZA Field Data.

  7. Geographic Information System (G.I.S) GIS technology is aimed to understand facts which occur on earth using digital images on a computer

  8. Geographic Information System (GIS) EACH DATA POINT IS AN ELEMENT SET UP IN THE SPACE THROUGH A PREDEFINED SYSTEM OF COORDINATES

  9. 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

  10. APLICATIONS FRUIT SAMPLING TRAPPING HOST CENSUS. CHEMICAL AND CULTURAL CONTROL SIT

  11. TRAPPING . Exact location of each trap . Spatial distribution in routes . Dispersion of fly catches . Additional information on individual traps

  12. FRUIT SAMPLING . Coverage and distribution of fruit sampling . Exact place of each sampled location . Additional information of each fruit sample

  13. CENSUS . Host distribution . Location and quantity of each species . Planification and coverage of Chemical and Cultural Control

  14. SIT . Planification of the areas to be released . Control of plane releases . Information about each flight . Analysis of the sterile insect dispersal

  15. 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

  16. 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
