CWA Systems – Cropwatch Africa

CROPWATCH AFRICA

is a specialized Service Provider which focuses on supporting government and stakeholders across Africa in safeguarding their resources, by ensuring the early detection of invasive pests and diseases before they cause significant damage.
Efficient and timeous monitoring of pests and diseases is the first line of defense against damage. Our Detection efforts increase the likelihood that new harmful pest and diseases will be noticed successfully while occurrences are still localized, and infected sites are not beyond that which can be contained, and the pests eradicated.
In addition, the costs associated with eradication and control efforts are typically far more than those of long-term surveillance.

Specialized Services

Early Warning

Early Warning Surveillance is the effective planning for plant pest and disease incursions, and focus on: Monitoring and Surveillance to provide early warning of the arrival of new pests and or diseases.

Area-wide Surveillance

Surveillance is an essential element in preventing the establishment or spread of exotic pests, through early detection and managing the response to such detection, and supporting trace where it depends on pest free status.

Regional Surveillance

Managing trans-boundary diseases is one of the most important areas of regional cooperation in Africa. Cross-boundary cooperation in surveillance, diagnostics, epidemiology and containment are the most effective means of combating the spread of pests and diseases.

Research

Research is an important part of Bio-Security - Pheromone field trails on effectiveness, testing different types of monitoring traps are ways to ensure our detection methods are correct. Ensuring our Remote Sensing practices are a true reflection ...

Training

Training sessions are held at different levels, eg Government Surveillance Teams and Inspectors, in-filed training, student programs or individual farmers..
