Information and communication technology (ICT) is an extensional term for IT that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications and computers, as well as necessary software, middleware, storage and audio-visual systems, that enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information. The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. ICT has proved to be a powerful tool in pest forecasting giving priority to prevention, as pest forecasting involves data acquisition, processing and information dissemination. IPM includes three important aspects, i.e., pest identification, pest monitoring and selection of appropriate management practice. Correct pest identification is the basis for rest of the steps to be taken for pest management. Second step is to decide whether pest management action is required. For this, practitioner obtains the pest incidence and other relevant information through regular pest monitoring of the field so as to select the appropriate pest management option. Generally, an IPM-DSS should provide users all necessary information including pest identification/disease diagnosis, pest/pathogen life histories (cycles), sampling and decision-making criteria, sampling threshold calculators, bio-rational pest control methods, plus available pesticides and their safety issues and environmental impacts. In India, many initiatives have been taken for the development of DSSs by various public and private organization. Some major initiatives taken in the country in the field of pest management are SOYPEST, Rice- crop DOCTOR, PESTICIDE ADVISOR, e-SAP and e-SAGU.
