Geographic Information System (GIS) for Weed Surveys and BioControl |
|
From the mid-90’s to 2005, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture Weed Integrated Pest Management team piloted a variety of strategies for collecting and distributing geographic information regarding noxious and invasive weeds in Minnesota – as well as biological releases designed to control those weeds. These innovative strategies produced a wealth of data and lessons learned towards a more efficient and cost-effective approach to managing weeds in Minnesota.
Currently, the WIPM team is studying new methods for collecting and distributing this information. In the meantime, the previously supported "Weed Mapping Viewer" has been taken offline. The data used to support this interactive web mapping application is available in basic form via the links below. More information is available by contacting the individuals below.
