Description A web based system for study of Real Time Pest Dynamics (RTPD) was developed and implemented
under National Initiative in Climate Resilient Agriculture to assess the field level impact of climate
change on pest dynamics of four major crops viz., rice, pigeon pea, groundnut and tomato. Understanding
pest dynamics vis-a-vis climate change is essential for prediction of pest severity. Predictions lead to
pest forewarning that provides lead time for managing impending pest attacks, minimizes crop loss,
and optimizes pest control leading to reduced cost of cultivation and better environmental safeguards.
The current efforts mainly focus on pest data capture, reporting, analysis and its relation with weather
data. The system consists of three major components viz. a database, an offline peat data capture
application and online pest-weather reporting and analysis application. Pest and other relevant
information obtained through regular monitoring of experimental and farmer’s fields by Real Time
Pest Surveillance (RTPS) locations established across the major agro ecological regions growing the
target crops and daily weather data for these locations is captured on weekly basis by an offline
application deployed at computers of RTPS locations which is transferred to central database.
Subsequently, experts from research institutes view this information in various formats through
online reporting and analysis application to compare pest scenarios, to study pest weather interactions
as well as for generation of pest forewarning models.
