METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING CROPS AND/OR INFESTATION OF CROPS WITH HARMFUL ORGANISMUS DURING STORAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for monitoring crops and/ or infestation of crops with harmful organisms during storage. The method comprises storing the crops of a plurality of entities at different locations being geographically remote from each other. At each geographical location, the crops are covered with at least one cover (6-1, 6-2, 6-3) which has a protective activity against said harmful organisms. Further, at each geographical location, at least one trap (8, 9) for the harmful organisms are arranged inside and/or outside the cover, said trap is adapted to capture the harmful organisms such that the caught pests can be counted. A first set of characteristics of the trap is transferred to a local computer device (10) of said geographical location and a second set of characteristics of the trap is transferred via a network from the local computer devices of each geographical location to a central computer device. At the central computer device the characteristics of the trap that have been transferred from the local computer devices are analyzed and a general analysis for geographical locations and/or a specific analysis for the geographical locations of at least one entity is generated. Moreover access for the local computer devices to the analysis of the central computer device is provided whereby the access is filtered so that the local computer devices of a particular entity may only access the general analysis and/or the specific analysis for the geographical locations of this particular entity. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for carrying out this method and the use of this system for monitoring tobacco, dried fruit, nuts and/or cocoa.
