Introduction (1)

Since many years SAGARPA has initiated several phytosanitary campaigns:

To regulate the trade of plants and agricultural products within Mexico

To supervise the exports to the rest of the world in accordance with international standards

To supervise the sale and the use of plant protection products

To implement measures to guard against the introduction and spread of harmful organisms to plants or agricultural products within Mexico

To ensure the quality conditions for the sale of seeds and propagating material in the country

Introduction (2)

Goals of the project:To design and implement a geospatial application, which supports the supervision, monitoring and control tasks related to the Phytosanitary Campaigns

Main characteristics of SIADE:Coordinate the supervision, monitoring and control activities

related to Phytosanitary Campaigns.GIS embedded into a distributed environment

to support the processing and analysis of geospatial data

Application is composed of:descriptive and spatial databases, which store information about crops and the status of the production units

Introduction (5)

Main characteristics of SIADE:An on-line system is proposed:

to focus on compiling and automating the data captured in field by technicians, who supervise each production unitSpatial and geostatistical system has been designed to process phytosanitary information to generate:

Reports, maps, messages and alerts about certain plaguesThese elements are displayed on the web by means of a web-mapping interface and institutions or producers can query information provided by

Case Study (1)

Exportation and importation of seeds, fruits and plants are very important activities in the commerce and economy of the country.

Up-to-date, the fruit dough represents the main phytosanitary problem in the agricultural production.

It reduces the fruit production and restricts its marketing for national or international deals.In Mexico these plagues can induce losses of the 25% in the national production.

Case Study (2)

The Campaign is composed of the detection and control tasks.

The detection task involves two main processes:

Tricking consists of putting several traps in the production units in order to detect the presence of plagues into the agricultural crops.Monitoring is oriented to monitor each trap to taste how many boughs have been grabbed.

In this action, it is necessary to exposure the traps for certain time period and supervise them every week.

Case Study (3)

The control task consists of carrying out a set of actions that allow to prevent any bud, contagion or epidemic, which could be presented when the presence of plagues is detected in the production units.

Apply a chemical, biological, mechanical, cultural or ethological control, according to the type of alert that is generated.Plan the area under control, considering the type of production unit.

Case Study (4)

Characterize the phytosanitary areas that are controlled in: zones of low prevalence, free zones and zones in permanent control.Determine the MTD value to different levels of production unit: orchards, regional, municipal and state to know the phytosanitary conditions in each production level MTD is an index that determines the infestation level of plagues in a specific area and period.Supervise the agricultural production of each production units that presents any risk

Case Study (5)

General framework for phytosanitarycampaigns

Proposed Solution (1)

SIADEGeographic Information System which has the capacities to:

Store, handle and analyze geospatial information related to agricultural and nutrition activities of the country.Design and implement a geospatial system, which can be used to:

register, store and analyze the spatial information related to the monitoring, supervision and control activities of the “Phytosanitary Campaigns”.

Proposed Solution (2)

SIADE project is composed of three stages, which involve the monitoring, supervision and controlactivities.

First stage consists of compiling the phytosanitaryinformation and the spatial data, which are located in a distributed environment.Second stage is based on automating the process to compile the phytosanitary information, by means of an on-line information system (WIS), which has been designed to register the data of each local office via web.Third stage consists of a web-mapping application (SIVIDE-W) that allows to visualize the geographic information, by means of a web interface.

Proposed Solution (3)

Schema to automate the activities

Proposed Solution (4)Architecture of SIADE

Results (1)

SIADE accomplishes the following goals:Integrate phytosanitary information in a distributed environment, which is compiled by the local offices and concentrated in the descriptive and spatial databases.Geospatial application consists of a Geographic Information System that has been designed and implemented to process phytosanitary information. Provide a set of spatial, attributive and geostatistical analysis to improve the decision making process in the phytosanitarycampaigns

Results (2)

Application allows to automatically compute the MTD indexes in the study areas.

This value is used to identify the state of the plagues in several crops and to classify the diverse areas according to the presence of plagues.

System generates attributive data to different levels of detail such as:

production units, regional, municipal or state.Integrate information of different sources as:

information about aspersion process, provided by the flight tracks.

Results (3)Information about flight tracks to determine possible phytosanitary alerts according to fumigated areas

Results (4)MTD values of the crops provided by the geostatistical analysis to determine the variation of species and identify the area with the highest concentration of plagues

Conclusions (1)

We propose a GIS (SIADE) oriented to automate the monitoring, supervision and control activities of the phytosanitarycampaigns in Mexico.This application attempts to reduce the response time in the decision making process, when any message or phytosanitaryalert is presented.It is possible to carry out tasks that allow us to control the phytosanitary emergencies, by means of a set of methods implemented in thi ti it

Conclusions (2)

We can monitor and supervise the state that guards the specific areas, using SIADE application.We propose a geospatial application that works in a distributed schema.Application is oriented to the web to provide phytosanitary information to diverse users, who are involved in the phytosanitarycampaigns, as well as historical records of these campaigns.

Conclusions (3)

SIADE decreases the administrative procedures and minimizes the use of paper documents, which can originate redundancy of data, imprecise information and little reliability for subsequent analysis.SIADE provides tools to make geostatistical and spatial analysis of the phytosanitary information.

It contains mechanisms to generate phytosanitary risk maps, reports that describe the state of the agricultural crops and the traps located in the production units, measures to control plagues, computation of MTD indexes in different levels such as traps, production units, and cells and publication of results in the web

Future Works (1)

Develop new phytosanitary policies, by means of using the SIADE application.

Implement the system to the rest of the country and develop new approaches to process, compile and analyze phytosanitaryinformation.

Use SIADE as a support application in the trade regulation of agricultural products inside the Mexico and the exports to the
