Computer programming in ipm
- 2. Computer programming is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging and maintaining the source code of computer programmes. It involves writing source code in programming languages with an aim to create a set of instructions that computers use to perform specific operation. Other two terms often used are database and database management system. An organised collection of data for one or more purpose usually in digital form is known as database. The use, creation and maintenance of the database using software packages with computer programmes is called as Database Management System(DBMS). The acronym’’ DBMS” is universally understood with Information technology(IT) (Dhaliwal et al., 2013)

- 23. It is a web-based application system developed by the University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur- Karnataka. It facilitates flow of information from the farmer to the farm scientist and back. "The idea behind creating e-SAP was to help the extension worker, to collect specimens right from the farmer's field and send it to the scientists and experts in real time, e-SAP will make the work of the extension service worker easy, enhance their efficiency and at the same time provide the farmers with solutions right in his field in real time. it has a voice-based application system, which guides the farmer and the extension worker in the local language about how to collect the data and the specimens. It also allows the extension worker and the farmer to do a survey of the pest attack or related problems right in the field, which is then automatically synthesised in the form of graphs and tables along with the decision support intelligence Electronic Solutions against Agricultural Pests (E-SAP)Electronic Solutions against Agricultural Pests (E-SAP)

- 44. Model: A model is a simplified representation of a system or a process. These are conceptual or mathematical devicies that aim to describe or stimulate natural processes. PEST MODEL : Any representation of one or several processes associated with pest development & control is termed as pest model These tools will provide a special form of information A great advantage of computer modelling is that it permits experimentation with mathematical representations of real- world systems which would be risky, difficult and expensive with actual systems Models can be used and categorized according to particular needs and perspectives
- 46. Statistical Models Commonly used for system analysis Regression models Multiple regression models Experimental designs These are purely based on empherical observations 1. Statistical models :
- 47. 2. Mechanistic Models • It deals with biological & ecological mechanisms or process that underline pest population dynamics, damage and control. • More suitable for expressing hypothesis about the reasons for pest outbreaks It • includes: Analytical models Simulation models Rule-based models Phenological models Inferential modes Spread sheet based models
- 48. A) Analytical Model These are mathematical models based on differential equation the results of the models can be written as algebraic expression involving parameter values These are used as tools for developing pest management principles & ecological theory Use: developing host parasitoid relationship for sustainable bio control
- 49. B) Simulation Models: Simulation models Most widely used in Agricultural Pest management. It involves simulation of the population dynamics of crops, pest, natural enemy of the pests or combination of these. Used for forecasting of pest population changes
- 50. Conclusions Computer programming enables collaboration and information sharing on an unprecedented scale. Becoming a prime medium for research and extension communication. No other medium offers such ability as simultaneous real-time weather information, multimedia, analytical processing and multi-way discussion and feedback Many of the resources are available but there is need for proper integration Future advances in IT and computer programming would lead to precision In pest forecasting and develop sustainable pest management.
