Brazilian Insect Survey: A Platform for Pest Management

Modern agriculture faces significant challenges in integrated pest management, where collecting, connecting, and processing monitoring data in real time are essential. This study presents the Brazilian Insect Survey (BIS), a web-based platform designed to centralize and streamline phytosanitary data management, enabling the integration of computer vision, field experimentation, and population modeling within a unified digital ecosystem. The platform is organized into functional modules that support experimental data management (TrapSystem and AgroExperiment), automated insect detection and counting from digital images (InsectCV and AphidCV), and simulation of aphid population dynamics (ABISM). These components operate in synergy, supported by distributed processing infrastructure, to ensure scalable data handling and efficient analytical workflows. Multi-year field applications demonstrate that integrating field data acquisition and automated image analysis with mechanistic population modeling enables timely, model-driven interventions that reduce aphid infestation levels and protect crop yield potential under variable environmental conditions, providing empirical evidence for queryPlease check if the captured keywords are correct.the effectiveness of combining AI-based insect detection with population dynamics modeling in operational integrated pest management. The case studies presented here demonstrate that the BIS platform successfully integrates computer vision, field experimentation, and population modeling within a modular digital ecosystem, highlighting its potential to enhance decision-making and advance data-driven integrated pest management.
