SBIR Phase I: Automating Workflow In Agriculture - Integrated Pest Monitoring System for On-Time and Online Decision Making

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将产生一个基于互联网的系统，将连接具有类似农业商品兴趣的大量用户。 ISCA Tech将从一个系统开始，该系统将允许种植者轻松收集和管理害虫监测数据，以快速准确地做出决策。 ISCA Tech建议将许多新生技术和一些成熟的技术整合到这个单一的用户友好系统中，以促进监测和快速数据管理。 手持收集的数据将被纳入一个互联网托管数据库，数据管理和查询工具将驻留在该数据库中。 互联网接入将把用户连接到独立于位置的区域范围的监控程序。 它还将大大提高数据处理和报告生成的速度，并使广大用户能够民主地使用地理信息系统等数据管理工具。 这一系统将使种植者能够在数据分析方面自给自足，并在电子社区中获得推广和科学建议，如果成功，这一系统将促进有关害虫动态、栽培实践和农业系统不同层面管理的知识的产生和传播。 拟议的综合系统将为全面发展农业做法奠定基础，如精确耕作和综合虫害管理。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will generate an Internet based system that will connect large groups of users with similar agricultural commodity interest. ISCA Tech will start with a system that will allow growers to easily collect and manage pest-monitoring data for rapid and precise decision-making. ISCA Tech proposes to integrate into this single user-friendly system many nascent and some established techniques that facilitate monitoring and rapid data management. Handheld-collected data will be incorporated into an Internet hosted database where the tools of data management and query reside. Internet access will connect users into area-wide monitoring programs that are independent of location. It will also greatly increase the speed of data processing and report generation, and democratize the access of data management tools, such as GIS, to a broad base of users. This system will allow growers to be self-sufficient in their data analyses, and to procure extension and scientific advice in the e-community.If successful, this system will catalyze the generation and spread of knowledge about pests dynamics, cultural practices and management through the different layers of agricultural systems. The proposed integrated system will create the basis for a full development of agricultural practices, such as precision farming and integrated pest management.
