Abstract
 Using GIS in Areawide Pest Management Track: Agriculture Author(s): Rosie Yacoub GIS is used as a decision support tool in the areawide management of glassy-winged sharpshooter in California. Locating traps using GIS/GPS, and then servicing the traps with portable data terminals and uploading on a daily basis allows finds in new areas to be identified quickly. Weekly mapping of trapping results shortens the time between when insects are found in the field and when treatments can be applied. Seasonal maps allow visual comparisons from year to year. GIS analysis tools can also further work in understanding the movements of the insects over time.
