Abstract
Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) is the integration of information technology (IT) and communication technology (CT), or the merging of fixed and mobile telephone networks with computer networks. ICT has proved to be a powerful tool in pest forecasting as a prop to giving priority to prevention, as pest forecasting involves data acquisition, processing and information dissemination. ICT can also be very helpful in terms of enforcing integrated pest management (IPM). This chapter presents and discusses the development and use of ICT in pest management. The application of a wireless sensor network in field monitoring and early warning of invasive alien weeds, and of remote sensing and radar monitoring in IPM, is shown.
