Collection of entomological baseline data for tsetse area-wide integrated pest management programmes.
2008
Area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) entails the integration of different control tactics against an entire pest population within a circumscribed area, while given adequate attention to human health and the environment. For most insect pests including tsetse, AW-IPM results in more sustainable pest control and the concept has gained significantly in importance in the last decade. These guidelines provide, aside from some basic information on the biology of tsetse flies, guidance on the development and implementation of an entomological survey to collect essential baseline data using modern spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS), satellite imagery, remote sensing, land use land cover maps, the Global Position System, etc.--Publisher's description
