Abstract

The Appalachian IPM program (AIPM), due to its size (12.8 million acres), location along the leading edge, and use of new technology, will influence the development of gypsy moth management programs. This paper reviews the data collection, management and mapped display of the adult male and egg mass life stages in the AIPM project. Data are field-collected using optically-scanned forms and managed using database management and geographic information systems. Maps showing population density, trend in density, extent of infestation and proximity to other infestations are delivered to land managers.
